Persimmon season on Lam Vien plateau

In the misty Lam Vien plateau, Cau Dat still retains its pristine beauty, both familiar and mysterious. There, not only are there hundred-year-old tea hills that give off a fragrant aroma, but there are also seasons of ripe red persimmons, like small fires warming the entire mountain village on chilly winter days.

We came to Dat Lang village, Xuan Truong ward - Lam Dong when the mist still covered the valleys. Dat Lang is now in its most beautiful season of the year - the season of ripe, plump persimmons, crystallized from the soil and cool climate of the foggy land. Walking under the hundred-year-old persimmon trees, watching the bright red fruits hanging like autumn lanterns, people seem to return to peaceful, slow memories.

The sweet taste of Da Lat persimmons has already captivated many people, but when enjoyed in a space shrouded in mist and smoke, the taste becomes even more intense and lingering. People often say: "The taste of persimmons is like the people of Da Lat - simple, honest, and anyone who is far away will miss and love them."

Not only a product, the persimmon tree has also been closely associated with the people of Da Lat for more than a century. Since 1889, when the first persimmon trees followed the French to the Dankia plateau, through many changes, persimmons have become a part of the memory, a part of the life of this land.

In particular, thanks to the combination of long-standing experience of farmers and modern wind-drying technology from Japan, Dalat dried persimmons have become an international specialty. Coming to Dat Lang today, it is easy to see the bustling atmosphere in every house. More than 80% of the people have been attached to the profession of making wind-dried persimmons, turning fresh persimmons into specialties with pure flavors, able to fully preserve the quintessence of Da Lat's land and sky. The bright red strings of persimmons hanging in the wind are not only an image of production, but also a symbol of new vitality, of the revival of the craft village.
