Da Lat, known as the city of flowers, is famous for cherry blossoms, which spruce up the festive atmosphere for the traditional Lunar New Year (Tet) festival, the biggest holiday celebration in Vietnam.
Japanese cherry blossom trees from Muong Phang commune, the former Dien Bien Phu battlefield, are brought to Da Lat and go on sale every year in early January.
Many people flock to the city during the peak season of cherry blossoms to take wedding photos, spend their honeymoon, or keep sweet memories of Valentine’s Day.
Spring is the best time to see cherry blossoms in the Central Highlands city of Da Lat, particularly now that the lunar New Year Festival (Tet) is approaching.
