When Da Lat gets clouded, the view gets heavenly
Photographers go to some trouble, hauling their equipment to mountaintops before daybreak to get the best shots. The Central Highlands town of Da Lat in Lam Dong Province boasts a year-round cool climate rarely found in a tropical country like Vietnam. It was once a summer hideout for French officials during the colonial time who built villas in the hills to escape the heat and humidity of the lowlands. From April to June the town is at its mystical best, when thick clouds and fog envelop mountaintops and valleys, and begin dispersing in dreamy fashion as the sun comes up. However, to catch a glimpse of the heavenly landscapes, one has to be on the mountain at the right time of the day during the right season. Photography enthusiasts get up well before daybreak and make their way up the Du Sinh Hill, around six kilometers from downtown Da Lat.

Dubious development plans put Da Lat’s future at stake
More than half a century ago, a poor college freshman traveled from the town of Hue in central Vietnam to Da Lat in the Central Highlands, almost 800 kilometers (500 miles) away. He moved to Da Lat to join the Architecture College there. The first person he met in the new place was a girl studying in secondary school who was helping her family to sell rice. "Could you tell me the way to this rented house?" he asked her, showing the address. After she did, the young man asked one more question: "How much for one kilogram of rice?" "Two dong," she said, showing two fingers. He did well in college and tutored the children of the town’s rich families, including the girl who sold rice. He became a frequent visitor at her house, and many years later they got married. This was the story of my parents. Later, whenever they had a fight, no matter whose fault it was, either my mother or father would show two fingers, and the other would take that as a sign of peace to stop the argument. My … [Read more...] about Dubious development plans put Da Lat’s future at stake
