Da Lat station puffs out of a beauty sleep
Vietnamese travel writers often call the Da Lat Railway Station, which is located about two kilometers to the northeast of the town's center, a "sleeping beauty." The nickname refers to the fact that what was once considered the most beautiful railway station in Vietnam was abandoned for more than 20 years before it was revived in 1991. During its heyday, the station, built in 1938, was busy receiving and seeing off daily trains on three routes: Thap Cham (in the central province of Ninh Thuan) - Da Lat - Nha Trang, Thap Cham - Da Lat, and Saigon - Thap Cham - Da Lat. The 84-kilometer main line between Da Lat and Thap Cham included a 16-kilometer zigzagged section. However, the station was all but closed during the 1970s as the Vietnam War raged, and some sections on the line were destroyed. After the war ended, it slipped into oblivion as other means of transport like cars and airplanes gained popularity. In 1991, when railway authorities joined hands with Lam Dong Province's … [Read more...] about Da Lat station puffs out of a beauty sleep
Unfading memories of Da Lat Railway Station
(VEN) - Apart from having old-style architecture and the shortest railroad line, Da Lat Railway Station is also associated with the establishment and development of Da Lat City on the mighty Lam Vien Plateau. Da Lat Station is still regarded as an ideal location to visit in the city. Da Lat Railway Station was built from 1932 to 1938. Its architectural style was designed by French architects Moncet and Reveron. The station incorporated the high, pointed roofs characteristic of communal buildings of ethnic minorities from Vietnam's Central Highlands and they represent the three peaks of Dalat's iconic Lang Biang mountain. This architectural work was listed as a National level cultural and historical site in 2001. … [Read more...] about Unfading memories of Da Lat Railway Station
