You don’t have to wait until winter to wear a coat, Cuồng will show you a famous tourist destination in Vietnam where you can wear a coat in the summer, and even experience all four seasons in one day, can you guess where that is? The answer is the picturesque city of Đà Lạt. With a completely different climate compared to other provinces, when traveling to Đà Lạt, you will enjoy the fresh, cool climate typical of the highlands. The characteristic weather of Đà Lạt is cool in the morning like spring, sunny in the afternoon like summer, crisp in the evening like autumn, and cold at night like winter.
In the evening in Đà Lạt, you will need to wear a light coat and use a cotton blanket, that’s why hotels and resorts in Đà Lạt often provide cotton blankets for guests, so don’t be surprised.
Đà Lạt is often associated with the name “Sad Đà Lạt,” especially in the evening when people just want to stay in their rooms. Today, Cuồng will introduce you to a lively perspective, an attractive nighttime destination in Đà Lạt that many tourists find fascinating. That is the “Am Phu Market.”
Am Phu Market Đà Lạt
Does this name give you chills?
Follow Cuồng Du Lịch to discover all the “secrets” of Am Phu Market Đà Lạt.
Despite its somewhat “creepy” name, the “Am Phu Market” in Đà Lạt is not gloomy or spooky at all; on the contrary, Am Phu Market Đà Lạt is extremely interesting and lively. The Am Phu Market in Đà Lạt appeared over half a century ago and has gradually become a distinctive cultural feature of the city of a thousand flowers. Initially, the market was a place selling late-night food with street vendors lit by oil lamps. The flickering flames in the misty fog made many people think of images from the “underworld.” The name Am Phu Market also originated from there.
After a long period of development in scale and layout, the stalls have all been expanded, but the Đà Lạt night market area still retains its old name “Am Phu” – as a humorous and familiar term for the locals, and gradually for tourists visiting Đà Lạt. So, Am Phu Market Đà Lạt and Đà Lạt Night Market are one and the same.

Cuong has received many questions that you sent about the Dalat night market, Cuong would like to share with you some experiences of going to the Dalat night market:
When is the best time to go to the night market to avoid crowds?
During peak hours, tourists are almost stuck at the Dalat night market. Motorbikes can hardly move, pedestrians have to squeeze through the dense crowd. Therefore, you should go early, around 5pm – 6pm you will be at the Dalat night market, park your vehicle and then leisurely stroll around, waiting until more stalls are set up at the night market.
Also, note that there are 2 parking areas for motorbikes: one near the entrance of the Dalat night market, and one inside the market. The parking fee is 5000đ – 10,000đ
It is advisable to visit the Dalat Night Market early to avoid crowds
Where to buy dried specialties to ensure quality?
From the beginning to the end of the Dalat Night Market, there are stalls selling dried specialties everywhere, but you should buy dried specialties on the first floor inside the market, the stalls here have good quality and reasonable prices. Not only can you sample freely, but when you buy in bulk, the stall owners may offer discounts and additional gifts.
Buy dried specialties at the first floor market of Dalat Night Market
Dalat Night Market is bustling and lively, so it’s hard to avoid scams. To avoid being ripped off or buying low-quality goods, when visiting Dalat Night Market, you should pay attention to the following:
– Buy items with clear origins: for dried goods, those with packaging will have information about the production facility.

Xuan Huong Lake
Xuan Huong Lake is a beautiful artificial lake located in the center of Da Lat city, adjacent to Da Lat Night Market. The lake is named Xuan Huong, meaning the fragrance of Spring. Some locals explain that Xuan Huong Lake is named after the famous female poet Xuan Huong.
Xuan Huong Lake is an artificial lake in the shape of a crescent moon, covering an area of 25 hectares, with clear water and small ripples whenever a cool breeze blows through. Visitors will be mesmerized by the beautiful scenery at different times of the day. Surrounding Xuan Huong Lake are pine forests, grassy areas, and flower gardens. This is a favorite spot for tourists to stroll or ride horses when visiting Da Lat city.
Hồ Xuân Hương is the heart of the city of Da Lat, and Da Lat is also one of the rare cities with a lake right in the center. Hồ Xuân Hương is a famous landmark and also a very attractive tourist destination that adds a distinctive charm to Da Lat.
Aside from admiring the lake, visitors often don’t miss Thủy Tạ. Here, they take some souvenir photos with a very unique architectural form, hard to find elsewhere. Thủy Tạ has a white house with a prominent wide balcony on the lake. From a distance, it looks like a luxurious yacht. Until now, Thủy Tạ remains a small, charming café bar. It is feasible to expand to accommodate a large number of visitors in terms of construction. However, perhaps because the image of Thủy Tạ is closely associated with Hồ Xuân Hương, deeply engraved in the hearts of the people of Da Lat and tourists, the authorities have no intention of doing so. Even the white color of the architecture is always maintained without change.
Visiting Ho Xuan Huong Lake in Da Lat brings a romantic landscape that enhances the bond between couples. Tourists can ride on beautifully decorated horse carriages, chat, take photos, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, escape the hustle and bustle of life, and pass by prominent city landmarks such as Yersin Park, Da Lat Flower Garden, and Cu Hill.
