The oldest train station in Indochina in Da Lat

Da Lat Railway Station was built from 1932 to 1938, at an altitude of more than 1,500 meters above sea level. This is the only station in the Central Highlands and is considered the most beautiful ancient train station in Vietnam and Indochina, with architecture imbued with local identity. Da Lat Station was recognized as a national historical and cultural relic in 2001.

Currently, Da Lat station is no longer used for transportation but is used as an attractive tourist attraction in the city of thousands of flowers. The only railway line that Da Lat station still serves is the 7km route from Da Lat to Trai Mat, taking visitors to visit Linh Phuoc Pagoda. With a rather slow speed of only 15 km/h, the train helps visitors fully admire the beauty of Da Lat city.

This place is not only an attractive destination for tourists during the day. With the night train called "Da Lat Night Journey" departing from 6:15 pm to 9:20 pm every day, visitors can admire the magical and unique beauty of Da Lat at night. The night train is beautifully decorated as if coming out of a fairy tale, making many visitors enjoy taking 'virtual life' here. Joining this night train, in addition to experiencing the night view, visitors can also enjoy music and dinner parties upon request.
