The last day in Da Lat - Visiting the suburb area.

In Da Lat, I do not know why I am so fond of walking down the very old corners, looking at the old beauty as well. The last day staying here, nothing more better to me than feeling the slow pace of life and enjoy it in my heart.

It is very difficult to figure it out the indigenous people in Da Lat. If one wants to hear Da Lat’s stories from the distant past, he can see them at a hole in the wall. Ordering a cup of coffee or a bowl of noodle, a thousand of stories will be told passionately.

Along the rut leads to the alley, I see a signboard with a title of “Cutting hair”. The billboard bears the hallmark of the old style in the hairdresser. From the using of colors and classical style, it catchs other eyes unconsciously.

As a lazy day, I book a grab car to drive me to the suburb of Da Lat. On the one hand, I intend to visit my sister’s land, on the other hand, I would love to have a cup of coffee in a silient area. Then I have found it.

This place is exactly a tourist destination but they have a great coffee shop inside. I do not need to buy the entrance fee, they also buy the ticket for coffee time separately.
Well, it is again a coffee bar between the pine forest. They use wooden material and the same tones with the tree-trunks in order to bring the warm feeling in the forest.

In the opposite of the café, there is a large forest on the hill, that area belongs the government, that is why no one can exploit that area of forest to get profit.

They also built a swimming-pool which is contrary to the hill. According to me, this is the main point in the coffee shop.
At my point, I have obtained a general view of the whole valley of a town.

They grow many kinds of flowers in all of coners. I even can not know all the name of plants, some are so familiar to me, some are strangers. So this decorating style brings the nature from outside to inside.

The most attractive flowers to me is Salvia farinacea (Nữ hoàng xanh). At first, I thought this flower is lavender because of the shape of tree and the colors of its flowers. Salvia farinacea is suitable for planting in my country in general and in Da Lat in particular since it has been imported in Viet Nam. A large area of flowers was cultivated and now is in flowers. This flowers attract a lot of bees and insects coming for pollen.

To attract more tourists, from somewhere they have added a red modern car on the bend in which the best view of café shop could be set off.

Well, I also want to introduce all of you one of the forest plant in my country which I have found it in this coffee house. It is Platycerium grande, one of the genus of the fern. Its leaves are quite big, and never fall of, they will dry and die on its trunk.

Walking down the hill, I find out a huge of Rose and African Lily garden in front of another modern house. African Lily just blooms one time per year. They grew it in the rib side of the hill, under the shadow of a part of forest. I am so lucky when seeing it in this season.

My last day in Da Lat closes quite early. Coming back to my room and folding up clothes and stuffs, I let out a deep breath. It is the right time to go back Ho Chi Minh city after a half of year wandering. Hoping that the heat of Sai Gon wont beat me down xD.
Thank you all for dropping by my blog! ^^ Have a great day, all.
