The West of Lam Dong (formerly Dak Nong) is the epic of mountains and forests, of the UNESCO Global Geopark, while preserving the wild beauty of Ta Dung Lake, Nam Nung... The center of Lam Dong is still the "muse" of the plateau with a mild climate, poetic landscapes and the brand name of Da Lat of thousands of flowers. The East of Lam Dong is the coastal region of Binh Thuan, formerly with 192 km of coastline in Doi Duong, Phu Hai, La Gi Mui Ne, Phan Thiet, and Phu Quy archipelago.
