In recent days, the image of a girl dressed in ancient costume walking in a flower garden, occasionally stopping to tease customers with the voice of a character in a swordplay movie, has attracted millions of views.
The owner of this series of viral clips is Ms. Kim Huong - owner of Happy Hill Da Lat coffee shop (Xuan Huong ward - Da Lat, Lam Dong province).
Sharing with Dan Tri reporter, Ms. Huong said that it all started from… a coincidence. Previously, her coffee shop had a service of renting ancient costumes for tourists to take check-in photos in the middle of the flower garden.

About a month ago, Ms. Huong tried on the outfit to model. However, because she was used to interacting with tourists, she kept chatting happily, teasing the customers who came to the shop a few sentences, making everyone laugh and recording the clip to post online.
“I didn’t think the clips would become so popular. When guests came, I also joked a few things for fun, but I didn’t expect people to like the teasing,” Ms. Huong shared.
Since becoming a popular figure, Ms. Huong decided to turn her interactions into a service highlight.
“From that day on, every day I dressed up in ancient costumes, greeted guests, and joked around to make them feel comfortable and relaxed. I didn’t rehearse anything, all my interactions were improvised according to the situation,” Ms. Huong shared.

Ms. Huong can imitate the voice of a swordplay movie character, speak Chinese and Korean, which makes tourists even more surprised. Videos recording funny moments continuously spread, contributing to promoting the image of Da Lat to international friends.
Although happy to be loved, Ms. Huong admitted that she also felt a bit pressured. She always realized that she needed to be more careful with her words, to avoid joking too much, making tourists uncomfortable and causing an offensive image.
Number of visitors increased by 300%, some days welcomed more than 1,000 arrivals
Ms. Huong’s coffee shop is a familiar tourist destination in Da Lat with flower gardens that change constantly with the seasons. When the “ancient fairy” appeared, the number of customers increased sharply.
She confided that the number of customers at coffee shops in Da Lat changes depending on the weather. On nice days, there are a lot of customers, but on stormy days, the shops are deserted. For example, in the past few days, there have been storms in the Da Lat area, so there are very few people visiting or sightseeing.

“However, thanks to the viral story of the “lady in ancient costume”, the number of customers coming to my shop has increased by 300% in the past few days. Instead of only receiving about 100 customers/day on bad weather days, we can receive 300-400 customers/day.
On days with favorable weather, we can welcome 1,000-2,000 visitors per day," said Ms. Huong.
Born and raised in Da Lat, Ms. Huong opened and operated the shop herself since 2017. In a highly competitive tourist city, Ms. Huong believes that to survive, she must constantly innovate and keep the flower garden vibrant to keep customers coming back.
“Da Lat is constantly seeing new attractions, if it doesn’t change it will be left behind. At my shop, the flowers are constantly changing, so that visitors have many options to take photos,” she said.
In addition to the flower garden and check-in area, the restaurant still maintains a costume rental service for 150,000-250,000 VND so that visitors can experience transforming into ancient characters to take photos. Ms. Huong said that what makes her happiest is seeing customers laugh heartily.
I hope that when people come to Da Lat, they will remember that there is a beautiful place here, and there are people willing to make them laugh. If international visitors love Vietnam, when they return home, they will tell their friends and family about their country,” Ms. Huong shared.
According to Dan Tri reporter, this coffee shop is located with its back against a pine forest and facing the green Tuyen Lam lake. The scenery is natural and poetic, blending flowers, water and the sky of Da Lat.
The "soul-stirring" point for tourists, the highlight of the restaurant is the flower path leading down to the lake, designed as a path through a blooming flower garden. On both sides of the path are hundreds of hydrangea trees with various colors interwoven with small flowers, creating a space as brilliant as a painting.

However, many customers commented that the restaurant has a few drawbacks that make the experience here not really complete. The entrance fee is 100,000 VND/person, including a drink, but this drink is not very special, even feels like it uses more flavoring than natural ingredients.
In addition, the restaurant has a fairly large space and many stairs, so it takes a lot of effort for visitors to go to all the photo corners. In the morning and on weekends, the large number of visitors makes the space more cramped, affecting photography, especially in the favorite "virtual living" corners.
