A cool mountain morning in Da Lat lifts the city into mist; pine-scented air brushes the windows of the air-conditioned van as it eases onto winding plateaus at roughly 1,500 meters. The day opens with a playful cacophony at the Puppy Farm — rare breeds, alpacas and ponies moving between enclosures — then slides into cultivated displays of flowers and flower-lined lanes at The Florest. Later, the Garden of Eden unfurls a tangle of pine forest and a ribboning stream that dares you to slow down.
