Beautiful!"Dalat4.5km from downtownHighlights: Datanla Waterfall is on the edge of National Road 20 in the direction of Ho Chi Minh, and the entrance is the top of the mountain. After entering the scenic spot, go through the rainforest first, and then follow a steep downhill road to see the waterfall located halfway up the mountain, or you can take the cableway to reach it. Along the way, the rainforest scenery is charming, and there are all kinds of butterflies and birds chirping everywhere.Show Less - 5.24.5/5333 Reviewbased on 3882 reviews"amazing experience. we went early in the morning right after opening and wandered around for maybe an hour. we took plenty of pictures and loved the room which looks like an aquarium a lot!"Dalat1.1km from downtownHighlights: The Crazy House can be said to be the most famous building in Da Lat. Its exaggerated and bizarre shape is similar to the style of the Spanish architectural genius Gaudi, and it integrates the characteristics of Da Lat's pleasant natural environment in all seasons. Visiting the crazy house, tourists can walk among the towering "dead trees", rest in the belly of a "giraffe", or get lost in a huge "spider web", just like Alice in Wonderland. The Mad House is actually a hotel, designed by celebrities. The glass skylight in the top-floor room is set directly above the bed, and you can look up at the stars at night. All rooms have water and electricity, but you can't see a single water pipe or wire. These all reflect the designer's ingenious thinking. Except for the occupied rooms, which are locked, all other rooms are open to visitors. It is said that the crazy house is expanding every year, like a growing castle, attracting many tourists. The appearance of the crazy house resembles a dead and rotten tree. Entering through the huge tree hole and stepping on the stairs of wooden stakes, there are rooms with different styles one after another, each with different themes. The location, orientation, height, shape, or the decoration, furnishings and furniture in the house are all amazing. In the guest room of the crazy house, the hand-painted design of the crazy house can be seen in the small room at the entrance, and in the front garden, all kinds of real and fake trees are connected with strange buildings, which is dazzling. The stairs connecting different rooms are also up and down and unpredictable, which makes people novel. The spider-themed room is topped by a cobweb-shaped glass skylight, while in the Eagle Room, Tiger Room, and Bear Room, you can see decorations or furniture with these animal elements, such as doors and windows, fireplaces, pillows, etc. What the "animals" are used for is also not a lot of fun. There is also an outdoor staircase that is elevated on the roof, which is very exciting to walk and overlooks the crazy house and the surrounding environment. Souvenir Shop There is a souvenir shop near the exit of the crazy house. The spider web-shaped door curtain has the feeling of a wire hole, which is very interesting. There are handmade fabrics, ceramic dolls and other small things, and even Vietnamese girls can be seen spinning fabrics on the spot.Show Less

You can enjoy the scenery along the way. This is also one of the venues where locals to take wedding pictures.Show Less
