History
Da Lat grew as a French colonial hill station in the early 20th century; its cooler climate and plantations shaped the town’s architecture and agricultural economy.
Conservation
High foot traffic at waterfalls accelerates erosion and litter; stick to marked trails, avoid feeding wildlife, and support local guides and small businesses to help sustainable tourism.
