Set off before dawn to watch a sea of clouds roll beneath the hills, then stroll the bright green rows of Cau Dat tea plantation, founded in the French era.
Cloud hunting is Da Lat's most unforgettable experience. Your driver picks you up in the dark and takes you to a favourite viewpoint on the city's outskirts to watch the sun rise over a white sea of clouds filling the valley.
After a hot coffee in the morning mist you continue to Cau Dat — a tea region the French began cultivating in the 1920s, with curving rows of tea over the hills and a historic tea factory.
