No Experience Required

A cool mist hangs over the central highlands as the minibus eases out of Da Lat’s tree-lined streets and into a day of odd architecture, pagodas and lakes. Pine needles crunch underfoot at the Crazy House entrance and stone mosaics shimmer under the filtered light at Linh Phuoc Pagoda; later, the roar of Datanla Waterfall dares you closer and Tuyen Lam Lake spreads a glassy, reflective calm.
