Da Lat Train Station

500 meters east of Ho Xuan Huong lake is Da Lat train station which is one of the oldest train stations in Vietnam. The cremaillere (cog railway) linked Da Lat and Thap Cham from 1928 to 1964 when it was closed. The line has been partially repaired and now operated as a tourist attraction. The train takes you down to Trai Mat village and back again. 

Datanla Falls

The nice thing about Datanla Fall is the short but pleasant walk to get there. The cascade is 350m from highway 20 on the path that first passes through a forest of pines and continues steeply down the hill into a rainforest. The other good thing is the wildlife – lots of squirrels, birds and butterflies. This may have much to do with the fact that hunting is prohibited in the area so the creatures are less scared of humans. To get to Datanla Fall, turn off Highway 20 about 200m past the turn off to Quang Trung Reservoir. There is a second entrance to the fall several hundred meters further down road. 

Chicken Village

This village has become popular with tourists because it is conveniently on the Da Lat – Nha Trang highway, 17km from Da Lat. It is a home of Koho minority, to a certain extent the Koho have been assimilated into Vietnam society. This place takes its name from a huge concrete statue of a chicken which sits squarely in the center of the village. Nobody knows exactly why this village is called as Chicken village. It might derive from the legend or a story which are still in secrect until now.
