In comparison to the numerous traffic intersections around it, a freshwater lake placed in the middle of the city, such as Dalat's Xuan Huong Lake, provides good climatic and mental control. It is a park located near to the city center square where people may exercise, jog, and have fun.
Almost every weekend, this is a popular tourist site. Many services and activities are available around the lake, including the municipal flower garden, the square's subterranean mall, the golf course, and other forms of water attractions such as duck pedaling and coffee shops and restaurants
I believe a circle of the lake is around 5 kilometers in length, and I love to stroll slowly around it because it has so many different perspectives and things to see. If I rush through it, I'll miss out on a lot of the experience.
It's difficult for me to get up early in the morning here since the temperature is cold and the fog is thick. I went with it in the afternoon, despite the fact that it meant more traffic and noise than in the morning. When the warmth of the sun is balanced with the coldness of the wind and the temperature of the high mountains, around 4 p.m. seems reasonable to me. I went for a walk with a friend, and we didn't talk much because we both preferred walking in peace.
To avoid becoming monotonous, the tiny brick road in the middle of the lawn travels through each fold of the lake, with various species of trees in each segment. The willow trees sway beautifully in the sunlight; their blossoms haven't bloomed much yet, else they'd seem like a lovely crimson chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Dwarf pine trees are not dense, do not provide shade, and place a higher value on the view.
Alternatively, some flowers, such as bright petunias, are planted in rows and meticulously clipped to provide green space. There are also some guys who amuse themselves by fishing for fun; I'm not sure if fishing is prohibited there.
It appears like a gate intended to be planted with some type of covering vines or small pots that can be put on it, but I'm not sure what to call it.
There's a sense that the sun is setting shortly, and I'm anticipating a beautiful sunset on this tranquil but peaceful lake.
A quick photo of two couples sitting next to each other and speaking on a break overlooking the lake that I found rather interesting. A young couple and an elderly middle-aged couple create an intriguing situation in which to smile about love. Peace is a simple goal that everyone strives for.
An interesting form of transporting tourists around the lake by horse that I encountered. With a simple rickshaw enriches the traveling experience for sightseeing. Hardworking guys.
The sunset finally appeared as brilliantly as expected, fortunately the clear sky turned a brighter red, warm like fire as the temperature gradually dropped. The line of people around also became more crowded to enjoy that scene, especially for this tourist city.
Ending a round at the starting place is the central square next to it, where people have fun and let children play or just sit and watch the flow of people and the surrounding scenery. I also just stopped by a bit to see some of the architecture around it, partly because it was cold and didn't like a crowded place.
It is an interesting place to roam when coming to Da Lat city, promising other places that are much more interesting when you have time.
