Xuan Huong Lake is a picturesque, crescent-shaped lake that has become an iconic symbol of Dalat city, located in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. It is named after a Vietnamese poet, and the lake is embraced by lush hills, adding to the city’s charm. Spanning approximately 5 km in circumference, Xuan Huong Lake is a hub for recreational activities like pedal boating, jogging, and strolling along its banks, where visitors are surrounded by vibrant flower gardens and pine forests. The tranquil setting of the lake often attracts picnickers, couples, and families looking for a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Architectural highlights around the lake include the unusual Dalat Flower Gardens, the charming Dalat Railway Station, and a variety of old French colonial buildings, reflecting the city's past. Visitors to Xuan Huong Lake savor the serene atmosphere, often pausing at one of the lakeside cafés to enjoy the scenic views over a cup of locally grown coffee. The lake is especially beautiful during the early morning when the mist rises from the water’s surface or at sunset when the skies are tinted with hues of pink and orange.
Located right in the city center. This location is very beautiful to watch the sunset. The length of the lake is about 5km.

Romantic lake
Nice big lake in the center of the city. We had a romantic midnight walking around in a the fog. Really enjoyed it.
I saw some swan boats in the day should be a nice thing to do.

Largely wheelchair accessible circular path
The walk around Xuan Huong Lake, Da Lat (5km of newly installed, reasonably wide flat path, with periodic sloped cut-outs down to road level) is largely wheelchair accessible, the only occasional chal..
I think this is a symbol of Da Lat that everyone who comes here will come here. Surrounding Xuan Huong Lake are famous historical and cultural sites, beautiful and good hotels.
I think that for sport..
