The city was also named in the top 5 Impressive Festival Cities of Asia. In addition, the Da Lat Flower Festival was recognised as the Best Flower and Garden Festival in Asia.

Located on a plateau around 1,500 metres above sea level, Da Lat enjoys year-round cool weather that is in contrast to Vietnam’s tropical climate.

As one of Vietnam’s largest flower-growing regions, the city is described as a must-visit destination by flower lovers around the world.

The Da Lat Flower Festival was first held in 2005, and then it was organised biennially to honour floriculture in the Central Highlands resort city, promote tourism and trade, and call for greater domestic and international cooperation and investment throughout the locality.
