Following the call of Central Highlands to Da Lat - "the city of flowers"

Da Lat in the early days of winter has been a romantic theme that captures the hearts of nature enthusiasts in generations. Only by strolling down the streets full of wildflowers, inhaling the cool and fresh air of the plateau, listening to the song of forest pines, enjoying the taste of a hot coffee cup, immersing in the land of fog can one raise affection towards this romantic Central Highland province.

Coming to Da Lat on winter days, you also have the opportunity to attend the Dalat Flower Festival with flowers brought from many regions and many countries. Winter is also the time when Da Lat enters the seasons of vibrant flowers blooming captivating visitors' hearts. The seasonal flowers include golden wild sunflowers, charming blue hydrangeas fields, and dreamy rose grass hills in the sunset light. In the last days of winter, when coming to Da Lat, you can also admire the mai anh dao (Prunus cerasoides) paths. Mai anh dao is a harmonious combination between northern peach blossoms and southern apricot blossoms.

Rarely is a land as charming, unique, and romantic as the Central Highlands. A day in the Central Highlands always feels like going between four seasons. Coming to the Central Highlands in the last days of the year, you will, at the same time, get lost in the cool weather, the colors of wildflowers covering the red dirt road, the hot summer sun, and the glittering yellow color of autumn.

Unlike the North, the South of Vietnam doesn't seem to have winter. Traveling to the West any season of the year, you will be impressed with the warmth and gratitude of the horticultural residents.

Rowing on Cai Rang floating market, enjoying the beautiful green picture of Tra Su Melaleuca forest, immersing yourself in the wonderful nature of Chau Doc village, traveling around Ha Tien, or tasting the local dishes of Western Vietnam are experiences that cannot be ignored in the journey of "escaping from the cold winter of the North to enjoy the warm sunny region of the South".

Admiring the stunning yet tranquil Southern beaches

To get rid of the North's cold weather, this winter, visitors should come to the South of the S-shaped strip of land, to enjoy the freshness of the blue sea, white sand, yellow sunshine in Phu Quoc, Con Dao.

While the North is welcoming the cold of winter, these beaches are in the dry season with cool, pleasant weather, calm sea, mild sunshine, which is ideal for holidays and relaxation. Not only possessing wild beauty, and diverse ecosystems, Phu Quoc and Con Dao are also the "capitals" of luxury resorts and hotels. Each resort and hotel here is a wonderful architectural work, that offers visitors the background for "Europe-like" check-in photos.

Currently, connected with Hanoi through only 2 hours of direct flights, Con Dao has become a very "trendy" tourist destination this winter as it offers convenient travel schedules and diverse entertainment choices.
