Dalat Vietnam has all the ingredients for a lovely vacation.
It was established during 1897 by Alexander Yersin, a French scientist,
as a holiday resort for French commanders tired of the tropical
atmosphere of Vietnam.
If you have an opportunity to attend the Da Lat
Flower Festival, do not forget to visit three famous flower villages in
this beautiful and romantic city. They are Thai Phien, Ha Dong and Van
Thanh.
Thai Phien Flower Village
Thai Phien is in ward 12, far from the city center of Da Lat about 7
km. Compared to many areas in this city, Thai Phien has fairly flat
terrain, fertile soil and water from streams cited Tho Than lake, which
is very favorable for planting flowers.
In fact, in over 50 years ago, Thai Phien only grew some kinds of flowers such as daisies, roses, hydrangeas and gladiolus.
However, now here you also find many varieties of flowers imported from
France, Japan, Indonesia and the Netherlands such as lilies, cat tuong
flowers, carnations and tulips. Due to being cultivated around the year,
flower in Thai Phien is beautiful and fresh.
Having
visited Thai Phien gardens, you will not only look at beautiful flowers
but also observe farming activities in many areas. Every person in
these gardens will be responsible for every work from nursing, planting,
taking care of, picking up, and packing to crating products. When
harvest seasons start local people in Thai Phien are busy with
purchasing flowers.
While
Thai Phien is brilliant with thousands of flowers blooming in the day,
at night it attracts visitors with the beauty of the shimmering lights.
When you stand on high and looking down, you will find it like a light
city with sparkling flower gardens.
Ha Dong Flower Village
Established 75 years ago by 35 farmers from Ha Noi, Ha Dong flower
village is in Ward 8 and now regarded as the first flower growing
villages of Da Lat. This village is located 2 km west of the central
city of Da Lat and an attractive destination for tourists who want to
see colorful flower gardens. Although Ha Dong village has developed for a
long time, its gardens, ponds and barns remain rural architecture of
North Vietnam.
Like
Thai Phien flower village, Ha Dong flower village is formed on a
beautiful location with fertile soil and water supplied by streams.
Initially, these crops were here mainly strawberries, cabbages,
chrysanthemums and lilies. But now Ha Dong flower village has added new
species such as orchids, cymbidium orchids, roses, Japanese
chrysanthemums and baby flowers. In particular, traditional flowers
have been a priority of this village and preferred for customers. When
Da Lat Flower Festival event is coming, Ha Dong flower village is an
opportunity for you to learn more about traditional crafts here.
Van Thanh Flower Village
This
village lies on steep mountain terrains but this is still the main
flower supply for Da Lat especially roses. Van Thanh roses are
transplanted from wild roses.
Besides this
strength, this village also attracts visitors by many beautiful flowers
such as daisies, lilies, salems and carnations. Getting lost in Van
Thanh – “flower kingdom”, you can also enjoy beauty of flowers in term
of color and fragrance.
