Near Mui Ne
Ta Cu Mountain 44 km
A forested mountain 28 kilometres west of Phan Thiet, climbed by a 2,290 metre path or a 1,600 metre cable car. Near the top lie two pagodas and a reclining Buddha 49 metres long, the largest in Southeast Asia.
Elephant Falls 94 km
A wide, loud waterfall on the Cam Ly River in the Central Highlands, about 25 kilometres from Da Lat. Rough steps lead down the rocks to the foot of the falls, where the spray is heaviest.
Po Klong Garai Towers 102 km
Three Cham brick towers on a hill outside Phan Rang, built by King Jaya Sinhavarman III in the old principality of Panduranga. They honour Po Klaung Garai, the legendary king who ruled here from 1151 to 1205, and remain a living Cham Hindu shrine.
Truc Lam Monastery 104 km
A Zen monastery of the Truc Lam school on a pine covered hill outside Da Lat. Its gardens and halls look down over Tuyen Lam Lake, and a cable car climbs to it from the edge of town.
Crazy House 108 km
A guesthouse designed and built by the architect Dang Viet Nga that looks like a giant tree melting into caves and cobwebs. Its stairways twist across the roofs, and guests sleep in rooms shaped like animals and hollow trunks.
Xuan Huong Lake 109 km
A man made lake in the centre of Da Lat, curving through the hill town below its market and pine slopes. A path runs right round its shore, and swan pedal boats drift on the water.
Da Lat Railway Station 109 km
An Art Deco station designed in 1932 by the French architects Moncet and Reveron, its three steep roofs borrowed from the communal houses of the Central Highlands. The line fell out of use, but a short track to Trai Mat village still runs as a tourist train.
Domaine de Marie Church 109 km
A pink Catholic convent church on a hill in Da Lat, begun in 1940 in a blend of French and Vietnamese styles. Nuns still live here and run schooling for local children.
