Vietnam: Maple Leaf Tourist Area, Da Lat



During our Vietnam Trip last May, the temperature in Ho Chi Minh was scorching. We figured that we won't enjoy touring around with that heat so we took an overnight bus and escaped to the mountains of Da Lat.
 


I haven't posted any Da Lat posts before but I'm starting with this Kyoto-inspired park/cafe. One of the countless cafe options you have in Da Lat. 



The entrance for this is 80,000 VND per person. 


You will get overwhelmed with the cafe choices in Da Lat once you start searching in Google Maps. We had a hard time deciding which cafe to visit because there really is a lot and most of them have entrance fees. We had to decide on which one was worth our money. We visited this and another cafe which has a hydrangea flower garden and a replica of Da Nang's Golden Hand Bridge.




For us who haven't been to Kyoto, this is a good place to visit. However, if you've been to Kyoto before, it might be better for you to visit another cafe. 




Aside from it being Kyoto-inspired, we wanted a relaxing place where we can feel the cool mountain breeze. Another item in itinerary was a visit to a flower garden so for this afternoon, we wanted a different theme.

It's Kyoto, my someday. HAHAHA


Snack shops area. Didn't try any. 
We've just eaten lunch and dessert before coming here.


My outfit was unintentionally a Torii gate coordinated outfit. 


The area was quite big but if you're pressed for time then you can probably explore the entire area within two hours. We had nowhere else we wanted to go to that day so we spend the whole afternoon wandering and taking photos.




You can buy fish pellets from the cafe. Photos get more interesting if there are lots of koi fishes in near you. 


Some visitors even had professional photographers taking their photos. Btw, kimono is also available for rent.



Before leaving, we decided to grab a drink and lounge at this area. 


This is a mountainous area so cabs may or may not pass when you're leaving so it's better to have an internet connection and take a grab back to the city center.




Da Lat is definitely giving Baguio vibes.






Everything, in time. 💖
