Da Lat, Viet Nam Area Photos
Aerial tram connecting Da Lat to the Truc Lam Pagoda
A common sight
The Da Lat Market is active even at night.
An aerial tram connects Da Lat to the Truc Lam Pagoda.  The trip takes approximately 7 minutes and provides wonderful views around the Da Lat area.
Bus breakdowns are a common sight around Viet Nam as the country's fleet runs nearly around the clock and regular maintenance is poor.  It does provide a chance to relax, stretch the legs and meet fellow passengers for coffee at nearby cafes.
Cho (market) Da Lat is a very active place throughout the day and provides a myriad of colors for all.
