The first air of Da Lat is cool and sharp—pine resin on the breeze, mist lifting off a lake that seems to dare you to slow down. Over three days the city reveals itself in layers: a French-era cathedral bell tower cutting the skyline, the hush of a hillside Zen monastery, and roads lined with flower growers who coax color out of the volcanic soil.
