Prenn Waterfall


Prenn Waterfall lies at the foot of Prenn Pass, on national road 20, 10 km from central DaLat city, the name ‘Prenn’ reminisces a long-ago period in centuries XV- XVII, when this mountainous area is still the battlefield of invasive and defending wars. In Cham language, Prenn means ‘invaded area but in the language of native minorities as Lat, Chil, Sre’ an invader was called ‘Prenner’.

The only access to the fall is a short bridge across a stream with concrete banks free from erosion. The way down to the waterfall is very beautiful, with well-arranged stone steps winding along the side of the hill. Tourists will see a water curtain dropping down from the height of nearly 10 meters onto a small valley which has been converted into a flower garden, many attractive paths of which lead tourists up onto open space of pine hills around it.
Tourists may take paths ledding to the zoological or orchid gardens or have a leisure walk admiring showy flowers, watching pretty huts high above in the trees or swaying lightly on a suspension bridge across a small stream. An extraordinary impression may be Solar Stone Garden, whose steps are artistically arranged. Especially the aerial railway can carry tourist across the stream and produce bobbed feelings of being lost in deity and fairy world.

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.
