When visiting Dalat, often referred to as the “city of thousands of flowers” in Vietnam’s Central Highlands, it would be a grave mistake to overlook its stunning collection of flower gardens. The best time to witness the mesmerizing beauty of these gardens is during the winter season, particularly in December and January, when the Flower Festival takes place.
Dalat Flower Park
Address: 2 Phu Dong Thien Vuong Street, Dalat City
Hours: Open daily from 7.30 am to 4.00 pm
As a must-see attraction in Dalat, this 7000 m² park is situated at the edge of Xuan Huong Lake, near the enchanting Cu Hill, just 2km away from the city center. Previously known as Bich Cau Flower Garden, it has been renovated and renamed as the city’s flower garden, offering visitors the largest selection of flowers in Dalat. During the annual Flower Festival, it becomes even more alluring, showcasing hundreds of species, including ortensiaes, mimosas, roses, as well as an array of imported varieties like daffodils and lilies. Notably, this natural museum also features a garden of orchids and a garden of thousands of cacti from Africa.
Langbiang Flower Farm
Address: 42 Xo Viet Nghe Tinh Street, Dalat City
Website: Langbiang Farm
Located approximately 5km from the center, along the route to Langbiang Mountain and Suoi Vang Lake, Langbiang Flower Farm is renowned for its extensive cultivation of traditional flowers such as roses, lilies, and chrysanthemums. However, what truly sets this 7-hectare farm apart is its dominance of eustomas, a flower that has gained nationwide recognition for Langbiang Farm. Strolling through 20 greenhouses that stretch from the slope to the foot of the farm will surely captivate and invigorate you, and afterward, you can relax by visiting the spacious flower exhibition room while enjoying melodious music.
Anh Quynh Orchid Farm
Address: 44B Van Kiep Street, Dalat City
Anh Quynh Orchid Farm excels in cultivating orchids, especially cymbidiums. The owner, Mr. Quynh, has successfully employed a revolutionary technique of growing orchids on husks, providing a solution to the challenges of using natural substrates. Known as a pioneer in introducing new flower species to Dalat, Mr. Quynh has established his farm’s reputation.
Lam Sinh Farm
Address: Ap Lat Valley, Da Sa Commune, Lac Duong District
Similar to Anh Quynh Farm, Lam Sinh Farm also specializes in cultivating cymbidiums. However, Mr. Che Quang De’s farm is even larger, earning him the title of the “King of Cymbidiums” in Vietnam with more than 20,000 pots of orchids. Fueled by his passion for cymbidiums, the “queen of flowers,” Mr. De relocated 20km from the city center to reclaim a vast 22-hectare land. Today, visitors to this orchid kingdom can hear Mr. De sharing his new dream of exporting Dalat cymbidiums worldwide.
