Things to do in Da Lat, Lam Dong Province: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
This former colonial resort provides a respite from Southern Vietnam's year-round swelter. The town is full of beautiful French-era buildings and surrounded by pine trees and farms growing exotic vegetables and flowers. It's worth the trip just to escape the heat for a few days.

With terrific views from the third floor and a ten-foot high dragon in the side garden, this modern pagoda is a favorite.

An intersting place in Dalat for any travellers with unique architecture (from broken ceremic, glassware, etc.), budda and bodhisattva statues, the illustration of hell. Although it is not the biggest pagoda you can find in Vietnam, I found it has a comprehensive atmosphere of a local pagoda. Quite far from the centre of Dalat, you may want to combine the trip to this pagoda and the tea farm.

Eccentric Zen artist and poet Thay Vien Thuc is the main attraction at this popular pagoda; part monk and part sideshow, he creates personal on-the-spot paintings for any visitor willing to pay.
