While some choose to remain in yesterday's Dalat, relaxed in its ethereal haze, others venture farther to discover a more modern landscape.

Known to the world not only for its gastronomy, scenery and first-rate accommodation, Da Lat, the flower capital of Vietnam, can now pride itself on its manmade assets as well as its naturally bestowed beauty.

Meticulously designed with extra care paid to minute details such as picture frames, chandeliers and furniture, it seems the cafe is designed to cater for those to whom views matter the most. The panoramic view of the city trumps anything else wherever it is offered, let alone Da Lat.

“Blue his house with a blue little window”, sings the disco hit by Eiffel 65. Now thoughts become realities right here in Da Lat. The cafe resembles a wooden train car, painted blue inside and outside. If you are living in a blue world and happen to be in Da Lat now, Da Lat Train and Villa is definitely for you.

Time flies slower at Tung, seemingly. An old cafe without a fancy design but filled with nostalgia. Customers flock to Tung only to immerse themselves in the antiquities hung on the old blue walls and the drips from the coffee filter.
