Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Xuan Huong Lake is one of the most scenic spots in Dalat, offering a peaceful atmosphere and stunning views. Walking or cycling around the lake is a great way to enjoy the cool weather and take in the beauty of the surrounding landscape. However, during peak tourist seasons, it can get quite crowded, and some areas around the lake could be better maintained. The food stalls nearby offer tasty local snacks, but prices can be a bit high. Despite these minor drawbacks, Xuan Huong Lake remains a must-visit spot for anyone looking to relax and enjoy nature in Dalat

Great lake for a run with a path that runs alongside the road. It would be a decent 30 to 40 minutes around the lake. Alternatively you can opt for horse and cart, open taxi, paddle boats in the lake or grab a coffee and food at many of the lakeside cafes and restaurants. It is well maintained but I wouldn't swim in it, we saw about 10 dead fish floating on top of the water, not a great sign

Xuan Huong Lake is where I felt the most serene beauty of Da Lat. The lake’s still surface mirrors the early morning light beautifully, creating a breathtaking sight. I walked along the lake, enjoying the fresh air and peaceful surroundings. The lakeside cafés are perfect for a coffee break, letting you savor a warm cup while soaking in the poetic scenery. Xuan Huong Lake not only offers relaxation but is also a symbol of romance, leaving an unforgettable mark on my trip to Da Lat.

Xuan Huong Lake is a beautiful escape in the heart of Dalat, offering visitors a chance to unwind and reconnect with nature. The lake is surrounded by picturesque gardens and pine trees, making it a perfect spot for leisurely strolls or peaceful picnics. Early mornings and late afternoons are particularly magical, as the mist rises over the water, creating a serene atmosphere. You can rent pedal boats for a fun outing or simply sit by the water and enjoy the tranquility. Xuan Huong Lake embodies the natural beauty of Da lat, making it an ideal destination for relaxation and reflection.

I think this is a symbol of Da Lat that everyone who comes here will come here. Surrounding Xuan Huong Lake are famous historical and cultural sites, beautiful and good hotels.
I think that for sports lovers, jogging around the lake every morning is an interesting experience, but you need to pay attention to the road because there is animal ….
Afternoon is the most beautiful time here!

We did the circular walk, round the lake. Some parts were better than others. Street vendors had taken over large parts of the pavement to sell plants/flowers for New Year. Increasing the danger for pedestrians. Some parts were ok. Good views, nice gardens.

This lake is located right outside the center of Da Lat. It is artificial and was created in 1919 when the French colonial rulers built a dam. You can walk around this lake, whose shore is about 5.5 km long. There are numerous cafes on the shore, but also leisure activities such as pedal boating, etc.

I was pleasantly surprised by how peaceful and beautiful the area is. The cool breeze and stunning views make it the perfect place to relax. I spent a few hours just walking around the lake, enjoying the fresh air and scenery. There are plenty of benches to sit and take it all in, and I even rented a paddle boat for a fun little ride. The surrounding flower gardens and pine trees add to the charm. It's definitely one of my favorite spots in Đà Lạt – highly recommended for anyone visiting!

This place is the heart of Dalat. Unfortunately, the water in the lake has now turned brown, looking like a valley, not a lake like before. It is still an ideal place to take pictures if you come to Dalat. People also often gather around here to eat grilled corn in the evening.

I was in Dalat in 2010 and to our disappointment, the lake was dry or under some construction. Was that the Xuan Huong Lake or Paradise Lake?

Is this the lake that is known as Paradise Lake?
