This is the only silk factory in the country that maintains the old method of removing silks from the cocoons.

Among various waterfalls in Dalat such as Datanl, Elephant, and Pongour, surrounded by a huge unspoiled forest, definitely stands out.

It is about 40m high, and 100m wide. Its polished steps look like a natural amphitheater! A stream of water powerfully plunges down these seven staircases, filling the air with a loud sound.
