Churches in Da Lat

The Catheral (Cock Church)

Located on Tran Phu Street, near Novotel Hotel, this is the largest church in the City, also called the Cathedral, with a folk-name of Cock Church because of a big cock at the top of its steeple.

The cathedral was built from 1931 to 1942, one of the most typical and oldest architectural works in Da Lat, 65 meters long, 14 meters wide, and 47 meters high. At such height, its steeple may be seen from many places in the city. The upper part of its wall were fixed 70 panels of color glass, embodying a hallmark in the architecture of European churches in the Middle Ages.

Every year, during the Christmas-time, this is the gathering place for a large number of both Christians and non-Christians who come for service and sightseeing. In addition, there are many smaller churches in Da Lat, of which are Domaine de Marie (Mary's Domain) and Cam Ly Church with theirrespective characteristics.

Welcome to Dalat, Vietnam

Vietnam’s Dalat—nicknamed “The City of Love,” “Le Petit Paris,” and “City of Eternal Spring”—has long been popular with Vietnamese and expatriate artists and writers who have taken up residence in villas around town. The area, originally inhabited by the Lat and Ma hill tribes which now live in nearby Chicken Village and Lat Village, increased in popularity during the French colonial era. More than 2,000 beautiful French villas dot the area.

Dalat is known all over Vietnam for its flowers. Set next to Xuan Huong Lake, the Dalat Flower Gardens were established in 1966 by the Vietnamese government, and are refined continually. Among the tastefully arranged flora are orchids, hydrangeas, fuchsias, and ferns. Plants and flowers are also for sale, including special fern fibers used to stop bleeding in traditional oriental medicine. Across the road from the Flower Gardens are nurseries with various types of bonsai trees, artfully laid out around the lake.
