Overview of Golden Valley in Dalat
The 10-hectare tourist site is hugged by 170-hectares of
sloping pine trees and green grass hills. Strolling on the hill, tourists can
hear the sound of pine leaves chanting in the wind and indulge in the colorful
flowers on the path to the hill as well as in souvenir shops.
Golden Valley features a harmony of natural and man-made
beauty. Under the shade of pine trees and green grass is a rock garden with
several types of precious stones, such as chalcedony and agate, in different
shapes from simple to meticulous, carved by nature and the hands of artisans.
Large rocks lie along the sloping path to an
artificial waterfall mysteriously named Thai Cuc Area, Luong Nghi Lake. Here,
tourists can forget the sorrows and worries of daily life as they lie on the
soft grass slopes of the hills under the pine trees and contemplate the blue
sky. Lost in the immense ever-green pine forests are not only typical highlands
plants, such as peach blossom in spring, cherry, yellow mimosa in sparkling
silver leaves, red pine and p’mu, but also maple trees from Canada.
Golden Valley is a valley of pine trees,
flowers, rocks, lakes and waterfalls. Orchards and flower gardens bloom with
life while man-made streams, lakes and waterfalls create the tranquil harmony
of an Asian philosophy of balance with the surrounding landscape.
After touring the park, tourists can stroll
along the hill slope to Dankia-Suoi Vang Water Plant, which is near the park,
to sense the tranquility of the central highlands at the immense blue lake in
the shade of pine trees and peaceful winds. Here, tourists can enjoy a party
after catching fish in the lake
Mr. Teddy Borring, an tourist from Australia uttered “This
place is extremely peaceful, poetic and fresh. I will come back here with some
my friends.”
