Dalat Diary is a travel blog for people planning a trip to Da Lat or exploring other destinations across Vietnam, covering places to visit, food, transport, costs, and practical itineraries. It is run by a three-person team writing under the name Da Lat Lovers, combining personal experience with information researched from publicly available sources.
What can Dalat Diary help you with?
Dalat Diary focuses on the questions that come up when planning a trip: where should you go, what should you eat, when is the best time to visit, how much might it cost, and what should you check before leaving?
Da Lat is our main focus, but we also cover destinations throughout Vietnam. Articles are available in Vietnamese and English.
Alongside our travel guides, Dalat Diary offers six planning tools:
- Cloud forecast: helps you choose when to plan a cloud-hunting trip.
- Trip cost calculator: helps you estimate a budget before traveling.
- Travel map: lets you explore locations while organizing your itinerary.
- How cold is Da Lat?: gives you temperatures to help you pack suitable clothing.
- Flower calendar + golden hour: helps you explore the flower seasons in Da Lat.
- Itinerary quiz: helps you narrow down itinerary ideas based on your preferences.
You can start with an article to understand a destination, then use the relevant tools to organize your trip. Weather, ticket prices, and opening hours can change, so check the latest information before making bookings or setting out.
Who is behind Dalat Diary?
Articles on Dalat Diary are published under the name Da Lat Lovers. It is the shared name of three people who have lived in, explored, and grown attached to Da Lat through different seasons, not the name of a single individual.
One loves Da Lat’s hills, steep streets, and narrow paths. Another enjoys discovering restaurants, cafés, and places to eat. The third pays close attention to practical details, particularly prices and opening hours.
Not every destination mentioned on Dalat Diary has been personally visited by all three writers. Some information comes from the team’s own experience, while other details are researched using publicly available sources. We do not present every recommendation as a firsthand account. When there is not enough reliable information to support a detail, we leave it out.
How we research, write, and update articles
Ticket prices, hotel rates, transport fares, and opening hours can change. That is why Dalat Diary includes the relevant year when presenting prices, schedules, and other time-sensitive information.
When quoting prices, we identify the specific operator or business rather than presenting one figure as a universal rate. A fare from one transport company does not necessarily apply to every company on the same route, and a room rate at one hotel should not be treated as the standard price for a neighborhood.
How we check information
Some articles include a More information box linking to official websites, so you can check important details directly with the operator or organization. Before booking, check current prices, opening hours, service conditions, and availability with the business concerned.
For safety and legal matters, official information takes priority. Mountain pass conditions, landslide warnings, driving license requirements, and visa rules can directly affect your trip. Follow the latest notices from the relevant authorities and check the rules that apply to your journey before departure.
When are articles updated?
Dalat Diary follows a separate review schedule for each topic rather than applying the same cycle to every article. Seasonal subjects, such as flower seasons and recommended visiting periods, are reviewed before the relevant season begins.
The update date shown on an article is the date it was last edited. It does not mean that every price, opening hour, or service mentioned in the article was confirmed on that same day.
When a reader reports a possible error, the team checks the information again. If the correction is valid, the article is updated.
Where do our photos come from?
Dalat Diary uses images from several sources, and not every photograph was taken by our team. Our sources include free-use photo libraries, official destination websites, blogs, and tourism or service operators. We credit image sources, and the full list is on our image credits page.

Does Dalat Diary accept advertising and partnerships?
Yes. Dalat Diary accepts advertising, collaborative articles, sponsored content, and invitations to experience destinations or services. These arrangements help fund the blog.
Sponsored articles and articles based on invited experiences carry a disclosure at the beginning. Paid links are marked sponsored.
