The roads and hillsides covered with flowers create a dreamy natural landscape, stirring the hearts of visitors amidst the peaceful atmosphere of the misty city. This year, the pink hues are even more magnificent, leaving visitors amazed when they set foot in this dreamy city in the early days of the year.
Cherry blossoms burst into bloom in the early morning sun, painting the hillsides of Da Lat pink.

Mr. Tran Hung Phuong, an office worker in Ho Chi Minh City with a passion for landscape photography, has just returned from Da Lat with poetic photos of the cherry blossom season. He shared: "I just had a trip to Da Lat and the cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully right now. This year is one of the most spectacular cherry blossom blooms, possibly due to the colder weather. When I took the photos, Da Lat was only about 12 degrees Celsius in the early morning."
Familiar locations like Cau Dat tea hills, Trai Mat, and Mong Dao Nguyen are now overflowing with blossoms. In particular, the K'Long K'Lanh area, a relatively unspoiled destination, is also entering its most beautiful cherry blossom season. Although not an officially designated tourist spot, it boasts nearly a hundred cherry blossom trees displaying their vibrant colors on the hillsides, creating a dreamy natural landscape.

"I spoke with the owner of the hill and learned that he planted cherry blossoms simply out of love for the place, not for business or tourism promotion. Tourists can visit if they know about it, but the place will still retain its inherent tranquility," Mr. Phuong recounted.
Flower season – the season of happiness and togetherness.
Speaking to Travellive, Mr. Phuong said that cherry blossoms are not only a characteristic feature of Da Lat every spring but also bring a feeling of warmth amidst the cold mountain town. The pink color of these flowers evokes happiness, making couples and families even more fond of choosing Da Lat as a spring travel destination.
Cherry blossoms not only appear on central streets like Tran Hung Dao, Hung Vuong, or Da Quy slope, but also brilliantly in the areas around Xuan Huong Lake, Tuyen Lam Lake, and especially in suburban areas such as Xuan Tho and Xuan Truong communes. These places have cooler climates, helping the flowers bloom earlier and more evenly.

The journey to hunt for cherry blossoms.
The cherry blossom season in Da Lat usually lasts from January to the end of February, depending on the weather each year. To capture the moment when the flowers are in full bloom, photography enthusiasts like Mr. Phuong have to plan their trips early in the morning, when the mist still lingers on the trees and the sun is just rising.
If you want to capture beautiful photos, tourists should wake up early and travel to cherry blossom viewing spots between 5:30 and 6:00 AM. At this time, the soft light and mist covering the flowers create a magical and stunning scene.
Cherry blossoms not only beautify the landscape of Da Lat but also bring a feeling of warmth amidst the chilly weather.
In addition, some challenging routes, such as the K'Long K'Lanh or Mong Dao Nguyen areas, require visitors to have suitable means of transportation, especially motorbikes or off-road vehicles. Although the journey is somewhat challenging, upon arriving at these places, you will be immersed in a peaceful atmosphere, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The cherry blossom season is not only a time to admire the beauty of nature but also an opportunity for visitors to experience the peace and romance of Da Lat. Those who have visited during the blooming season will surely find it hard to forget the moment when the vibrant pink petals sway in the spring breeze.
