Delegates at the opening ceremony of the tourist train "Da Lat Night Journey". |
Trains are scheduled to depart Da Lat Station at 6:15 pm and 8:20 pm and leave Trai Mat Station at 7:15 pm and 9:20 pm. Fares range from 72,000 VND to 100,000 VND (2.9 - 4 USD) for each way, according to the VNR. |
Dao Anh Tuan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Saigon Railway Transport JSC, said that in 2023, the Vietnam Railway Corporation (VNR) embellished and upgraded Da Lat Station - a national historical relic site, train carriages, and the Da Lat - Trai Mat railway line. |
The introduction of live music, free wifi, and wedding services on this route has also added to its attractiveness to visitors, he noted. |
On the nearly 7km route, tourists can enjoy not only the night-time scenery of Da Lat but also novel services, such as a buffet and live music on the two carriages, featuring both classical and modern designs. |
This is the remaining part of the 84km Thap Cham - Da Lat railway route, built by French rulers and became operational in 1932 to connect the south-central province of Ninh Thuan with Lam Dong. |
Before boarding, tourists can explore and take check-in photos at Da Lat Station, a unique architectural structure inspired by Langbiang Mountain and the traditional “Rong” house - a variation of stilt houses unique to the Central Highlands in Vietnam. |
Da Lat, the capital of Lam Dong Province, is surrounded by hills, pine forests, lakes, and waterfalls. |
Known as the “City of Eternal Spring” for its distinctive temperate climate, it was developed as a resort town by the French in the early 1900s. Many reminders of the colonial heritage remain, creating a unique feature for the destination. |
