Dankia Lake- Golden Spring


It is famous interesting place in Dalat, away 12km from the city centre in the North. Dankia lake gold river is like a young lady in her teenager lies on vast green pine hills. In 1893, Doctor A. Yersin had been astonished at the natural beauty of the impressive mountain on Lang Bing plateau and then he had an idea of establishing a resort centre on the plateau and gave birth to Dalat city. The Gold River lake consist of two lakes: Dankia and Ankroet which can hold 21 million cubes of water to provide water for the two hydroelectric plants and running water for Dalat people.

Below Dankia lake there is a very beautiful waterfall called The seven step waterfall. Here there is the hydroelectric plant Ankroet, the first plant that was built in Vietnam in 1943 and it is still operated now. In 2002, Denmark gave help to renovate the Dankia water plant and Dalat has the highest rate of people having clear water (80 percent), the rate of escaping water is also the smallest in Vietnam (below 20 percent).

If the project of a general tourist sight of the country with a capital of over 370 million dollars began, the name of Gold River will really be “the white gold zone of the Western Highlands”. According to the plan, there will be a second Dalat city with high-standard houses and villas, special entertainment centers such as golf court, horse races...and an international casino. There will be an auto route from Lien Khuong airport to the fast of Prenn pass in order to take Singaporean visitors and visitors from South-East Asia to spend their weekends at Gold River, Dankia...In 2002 Dalat accomplished the renovation, the repairation of the road from Tung Lam, Cam Ly airport to Gold River lake to server the need of sightseeing tourists.

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.
