The Central Highlands resort city of Da Lat has been listed among Asia's top nine favored nature destinations based on searches made on digital travel platform Agoda.

"Just a short flight from Ho Chi Minh City, Da Lat offers a nature lover's paradise with cool weather, pine forests, and waterfalls," Agoda said.

The city is ideal for hiking, lake activities like canyoning, and enjoying local gardens.

Situated on a plateau around 1,500 meters above sea level, Da Lat is surrounded by green pine forests with a year-round cool climate, making it an ideal hotspot to escape the heat.

At some time of the year, Da Lat is shrouded in thick fog, attracting amateur and professional photographers to flock to the city to hunt for photos.

Agoda said the list was based on searches conducted on the platform this January.

In addition to Da Lat, the list also included Ooty in India, Lombok in Indonesia, Hakone in Japan, Miri in Malaysia, Siquijor Island in the Philippines, Jeongseon-gun in South Korea, Hualien inTaiwan and Khao Yai in Thailand.
