Da Lat - Central Highland

Wednesday, 1. August 2007, 17:11:29

English Tags

Dalat was established as a hill resort at the beginning of the last century by homesick French colonials who were attracted to its cool, spring-like weather, pine forests, waterfalls and lakes. Many reminders of Dalat?s colonial past can be seen in the hundreds of European style villas, chalets and other buildings still standing around town. One fine example is the cream-coloured art deco villa that was once the summer home of Vietnam?s last emperor, Bao Dai. Another slightly more grand example of Dalat s colonial architecture is the superbly restored Dalat Palace Hotel overlooking the central Xuan Huong Lake. On the opposite side of Xuan Huong Lake is Vietnam s first golf course, originally built for Emperor Bao Dai and recently restored, it is now one of the top courses in the region.

Bao Dai Summer Palaces

Da Lat's three palaces are referred to simply as Palace 1, Palace 2, and Palace 3. The palaces were all completed by the French, but only Palace 3 was a royal home. It was owned by the last emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, Bao Dai. You can find it on Le Hong Phong Road, about a quarter of a mile southwest of Da Lat's central district. The palace is open to the public. Bao Dai was Vietnam's playboy emperor who disappeared into exile in France and Monaco after WWII. His family's living quarters are still decorated in yellow. Photographs of the emperor and his family still hang on the walls.
