Da Lat enters its dreamy winter days.

The dreamy, gentle beauty of Da Lat, like the mist and smoke of an early morning, easily stirs emotions and stirs the heart. Countless photographers have been inspired by these peaceful and enchanting moments, creating works of art that evoke a sense of nostalgia, like the photo series by Le Minh Phat below.

A misty morning in Da Lat:

Wooden boats weave through the rows of pine trees on Tuyen Lam Lake in the early morning mist, when the entire landscape is still covered in a milky white haze. But just a few hours later, as the sun rises higher, only a little mist remains on the emerald green surface of the river, and the scene becomes clearer and more tranquil…

The image of the solitary, gnarled chò tree trunk, seemingly enduring the harsh winds and frost of all four seasons, and the gently drifting dugout canoe on the poetic river, creates a unique ink painting-like scene for the mountain town in the early days of winter.

Besides Tuyen Lam Lake, Trai Mat is also an equally enchanting destination in Da Lat. With its rustic houses nestled along winding old streets, and the distant landscape covered by the pristine and majestic highland mountains, Trai Mat evokes a sense of an ancient, original, and strangely peaceful Da Lat.

Beautiful bottle.
