Type of destination: Lake/Recreational Area
Ideal visit duration: 2-3 hours
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.
