Da Lat: The secret to 'hunting' for sunrise is honored by National Geographic

The prestigious travel magazine National Geographic Traveler has honored Da Lat as one of the most beautiful sunrise viewing spots in the world . This experience is described as a moment where people feel “as if floating between heaven and earth” when the highland city wakes up.

The beauty of Dalat dawn is not only in watching the clouds or the sunrise, but also in a unique “light hunt”. That is when the first rays of sunlight penetrate the thick fog, creating magical light streams covering the hills and valleys, a scene that an American magazine described as a mix of “ science and landscape”.

Suggestions for 3 ideal coordinates to 'hunt' for light in Da Lat

To get the full experience as praised by National Geographic Traveler, here are three must-see spots for your light-seeing journey.

Tuyen Lam Lake: Symphony of light and water

If you are looking for a peaceful morning, Tuyen Lam Lake is the perfect choice. Instead of a sea of rolling clouds, the highlight here is the pristine rays of the morning sun. The light passes through the pine trees, creating shimmering golden streaks reflecting on the calm lake surface. The thin mist drifting on the water surface makes the scene even more magical, like a vivid ink painting.

Cau Dat Tea Hill: Sea of clouds dyed with brilliant colors

Cau Dat Tea Hill offers a majestic and overwhelming scene. From above, you can admire the sea of white clouds covering the endless green tea fields. The moment the sun rises is a spectacular display of colors, as the sunlight gradually changes the sea of clouds from opaque white to pink, bright orange and finally brilliant golden.

Thien Phuc Duc Hill: Stage of light streams

With a panoramic view, Thien Phuc Duc Hill is the ideal place to hunt for the most impressive light streams. From the top of the hill, you will see the whole valley immersed in the morning mist, with undulating mountain peaks like small islands. When the sun rises, strong rays of sunlight will penetrate the thick clouds, forming straight columns of light shining down on the ground. The interplay between light and shadow creates a dramatic scene, an endless source of inspiration for photography lovers.
