Doctor Alexandre J .F .Yersin, a French of Swiss origin, found out Da Lat in 1893. Finding its climate natural and ideal, he proposed building Da Lat into a convalescent area. In 1901, there appeared many wood houses used as hospital and offices for the French officials. Then followed the construction of such works as churches, power station... and since 1931 people from other regions began to come to Da Lat for settlement.
As time went by, so far Da Lat has become a famous city for tourism, attracting many visitors. In 2003, Da Lat will celebrate its 110th birthday in a bustling festival.
