Dalat Flower Garden is a unique landscape destination you shouldn't miss on your trip. It's no coincidence that Dalat is nicknamed the "city of a thousand flowers". Let's explore with HDV Local Vietnam what makes the colorful gardens that create this special beauty for Dalat so remarkable!
1. Dalat City Flower Garden
The most famous Dalat flower garden, featured in almost every tour, is the Dalat City Flower Garden. Located right in the city center, opposite Xuan Huong Lake, this is a collection of hundreds of flower varieties of all sizes and colors. The city flower garden was started and the first flower varieties were planted in 1966, but it wasn't until 1985 that it was restored and opened to visitors.
With a total area of over 7000m2, the city flower garden is listed as one of the most beautiful flower gardens in Vietnam. It cultivates the following types of flowers: Salvia, Vinca, Orchid, Rose, Hydrangea, Cockscomb, Lilac, Immortelle, Chrysanthemum, Lavender, Tulip, ...
The city flower garden is very prominent on Tran Quoc Toan Street with an impressive flower gate, shaped like a colorful arch, which is very eye-catching. Upon entering the gate area, there is a fountain surrounded by many seasonal and themed flowers.
To the left of the garden is the orchid growing area, including Phalaenopsis, Cattleya, Oncidium, Mokara, Dendrobium, etc., along with other varieties of flowers. To the right of the city flower garden are incredibly impressive floral arrangements, which will take you from one surprise to another.
Each year, the Dalat flower garden "wears a different coat" which is truly unique and you shouldn't miss it! From Dalat Market to the city flower garden only takes about 5-7 minutes by motorbike, a distance of 2.5 km, so it's very convenient.

Lavender is known as a noble flower with a romantic purple color. Lavender is a bushy plant with a gentle, pleasant fragrance. The flower originated in the Mediterranean region during ancient Greek times. Not only used for decoration, Lavender is also a medicinal herb that can repel insects.
Lavender flowers usually bloom in the summer, around June-July, though this also depends on the climate and weather. The flowers will bloom and last for about 3-4 weeks.
You will be able to admire the wonderful scenery, watching each tiny petal sway gently in the wind accompanied by a subtle fragrance. The flower fields in Tay Tuu are cared for by the locals as meticulously as their own children.

The Dalat Sunflower Field provides virtual life enthusiasts with incredibly stunning and vibrant photos. However, you need to choose the right time when the sunflowers are in full bloom to get truly beautiful pictures.
Many people have visited the Sunflower field out of season, only to find small buds and fallen leaves, which is a great pity. According to Local HDV's travel experience, sunflowers will be in full bloom during the last three months of the year: October, November, and December.
