Arrived by cable car on a tour which set the mood of calm and at-one with nature. Eventhough there were plenty of people they spread out and the atmosphere took over. Walk down to the lake.

Not to die for but you're already there if you visited the falls so why not?! There is an impressive display in the pagoda itself the grounds are fairly sparse however.

Took the cable car ride and it was stunning well worth the trip. The gardens were beautiful and we went down to the lake and took the boat ride on the lake. We had a stop at the island with the elephants but didn't ride one. We were not pressured either which was nice. On our return the cable car... More

This place is just lovely, gardens, chimes, drum and views to the lake. The cable car to and from is also most enjoyable over the fields and with views to dalat. Nice way to pass sometime around dalat.

Lovely cable-car ride to a stunning location full of interest and spectacle. Enjoyed this more than the Crazy House.

The cable car ride to the pagoda is a beautiful trip, well worth the money, up and over a mountain. I don't think the trip would be the same on the road. The pagoda itself is beautiful and has lovely gardens. Views from the restaurant beside the cable car stop are beautiful. Nice place for lunch or a drink.

We went here after riding the cable car and walked through the area with one of our easy riders who explained that it is a centre for meditation. It was the school holidays and full of Vietnamese families enjoying a big day out in a meaningful place. The gardens are very nice and beautifully kept and the temples are well... More

Extremely peaceful - a great place to relax and soak in the tranquility. After walking the gardens, we headed down... More
