One of the most well-known "haunted" houses in Da Lat has had a makeover to cash in on its "notorious" history among tourists and visitors.
 Da Lat is said to have a number of "haunted" houses, but few as "infamous" as one house at the foot of Prenn Pass, Mimosa Valley built in 1930, which has undergone numerous repairs until, in 1986, it was sold to a French-Vietnamese man who died in a plane crash soon after buying it. 
The house was abandoned, but it has attracted "stories" of murder and ghosts. A security guard committed suicide there in 1997, and taxi drivers in the city tell of one driver, who took a woman there on a short drive and died a few days later. As rumours about the house grew, it attracted more and more curious visitors. But years of neglect left it in a shambles. 
In early 2015, the house was sold to a businessman in HCM City. He cleaned up the garden, gave the house a facelift, and has reopened it for visitors.
If you’ve ever visited Viet Nam, you probably know that October is the best time to take tours to the highlands of the country.
 Da Lat, Sa Pa and Ha Giang are known to be the best among the suggested tourist sites.

 Ha Giang province is famous for the luring fields of Tam Giac Mach flowers, often in full blossom over a period of 3 months, from October to December. 
 Apart from the flowers, visiting Ha Giang, tourists also have the chance to admire the grandeur of the landscapes, especially the mountains in Quan Ba district, the terraced fields in Hoang Su Phi, the Hmong king’s palace in Sa Phin valley, and the flag pole in Lung Cu, the land in the far north of the country. 
 Discovering golden terrace fields in Sa Pa 
Sa Pa, a district of the northwestern province of Lao Cai, is famous for terraced rice paddy fields in the harvest season. Sa Pa is beautiful all year round but most visitors seek to reach Sa Pa in October, for this is the time the rice in the terraced fields is ripe and ready for harvest. Sa Pa townlet, the capital of Sa Pa district, is well known for a number of attractive destinations, such as the Silver Waterfall, the foggy Heaven Gate, and the Love Market held each Saturday.

 Getting lost in the wild sunflowers in Da Lat 
Well known for various kinds of flowers, Da Lat city is, however, often remembered with the image of the golden wild sunflower, often in full bloom in October. The wild sunflower is most attractive on the morning when the dawn has just broken the darkness. It is the time when the dew is still lingering on the yellow petals of the flowers and the whole city seems to be covered in yellow. Such a brilliant and splendid flower fades very quickly, in just 2 or 3 weeks. Therefore, if you really wish to admire the “yellow season” in Da Lat, you must be prepared to be there as soon as the flower starts blooming.

Among many romantic destinations in Viet Nam, Sa Pa, Da Lat and Ha Long are the top choices for couples. 
In North Viet Nam, Sa Pa is the most favored place for honeymoons. The year-round cool climate, the cold of the mountains and fog, and romantic landscapes of Sa Pa make people want to be close. With a thin coat, a warm hand, you and your partner can take a stroll along the streets, go shopping, enjoy yourself in the love market on Saturday, visit French villas and Love Waterfall, which is known as the most beautiful waterfall in North Viet Nam, or the villages of ethnic minority groups to learn their unique culture.

The evening in Sa Pa is quite long. Many couples confided that, for them, the most interesting thing to do in Sapa in the evening is getting into a warm blanket. So without any official survey, Sa Pa is still called the tourist destination for love in Viet Nam.

If Sa Pa is the Paradise for Love in the North, it is Da Lat in the South. The two locations have similarities in that they are located at high altitudes and have cool climate all year round.


Like a miniature Paris, Da Lat is famous for European architecture, the vast pine forest and flowers. What could be better than choosing this land as a romantic dating place.
Destinations in Da Lat are also characterized by love. Da Lat night is busy with lots of activities around the market and cafés around Xuan Huong Lake. There are many romantic destinations for couples there.

Dalat is a young city compared to other cities in the south of Vietnam such as Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and Nha Trang as it was founded only in the late 1890s. Once serving as the capital of the Federation of Indochina, Dalat’s permanent image nevertheless is as a holiday resort in Vietnam’s Central Highlands, the reason for which it was originally established.

Dalat features many interesting landmarks.
