Recorded on February 20 (ie, the 4th day of Tet) at famous tourist areas and public entertainment spaces, thousands of tourists gathered to stroll, take photos, and enjoy the spring atmosphere.
Families and groups of young people account for the majority. Many people choose to save the first moments of the year amidst the typical scenery of Da Lat.
At attractions such as Valley of Love, Dream Hill, Da Lat Flower Garden, Datanla tourist area or clay tunnel..., the number of visitors increased compared to the previous two days.
Along with a sharp increase in the number of visitors, the accommodation market in Da Lat is at its peak. According to records, from the 2nd to the 5th day of Tet, many hotels and homestays in the central area hung signs "out of rooms".
The pre-booking rate on routes such as Nguyen Chi Thanh, Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, Le Dai Hanh, Pham Ngu Lao... reached nearly 100%.
Room rates during this period increase from 1.5 to 3 times compared to normal days. Some accommodation establishments said that single rooms range from about 600,000 VND/night (normal days about 200,000 VND), double rooms up to 1.2 million VND/night.
2-3 star hotels have single room rates from 700,000 - 900,000 VND/night, double rooms from 1.4 - 1.6 million VND/night. Meanwhile, many 4-5 star hotels still maintain the registered price.
Notably, although the number of visitors increased sharply, there was no record of "overcharging" or serious overload like in some previous years. There is no longer a scene of tourists having to tent tents to sleep temporarily in the park because they cannot find accommodation.
Traffic on roads leading to the center of Da Lat is generally stable. The number of vehicles increases with each time frame but there is no prolonged congestion.
The Traffic Police Department, Provincial Police has mobilized maximum officers and soldiers to regulate and closely divert traffic at key intersections, ensuring smooth traffic for vehicles, helping tourists' spring trips to be convenient.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Kieu Nga, a tourist from Da Nang, said that her family of 18 chose Da Lat as a spring travel destination at the beginning of the year and stayed for two days to visit famous scenic spots.
The fresh, cool air makes everyone very comfortable. Da Lat is crowded but not too stuffy," Ms. Nga said.
Meanwhile, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Hung, a tourist from Dong Nai, said that every year his family chooses Da Lat for spring travel because of its pleasant climate and beautiful scenery.
This year, the weather in Da Lat is cold in the morning and sunny at noon, which pleases tourists very much. My family chose Da Lat for fun and relaxation, starting a new year of work and study," Mr. Hung shared.
From the 2nd to the 4th day of Tet, many shops and eateries have opened to serve, creating a bustling atmosphere throughout the central streets.
Shopping, enjoying cuisine, sightseeing and photography activities took place sôi động, showing the persistent attraction of Lam Dong tourism right from the early days of the year.
The high number of visitors during Tet not only reflects the demand for spring resorts but also affirms Da Lat's position as a safe, unique destination and increasingly improves service quality.
On national highways, provincial roads and urban center areas, traffic police forces are mobilized to the maximum to regulate and divert traffic to ensure convenient traffic during Tet days.
