A Fantastic Work by a Fantastic Engineer The resort of Golden Valley, around 15 kilometers away from city center, lies near the lake of Golden Stream surrounded by a 200-hectare forest of pine trees, which contributes to create its unique cool and clear atmosphere. Thanks to skilful and talented engineer Tran Dinh Lanh, the wild and desolate landscape has been turned into one of the most well-known destinations in Dalat.

But over time, great efforts from local residents and authorities have turned the temporary house into a famous ecotourism destination nationwide with miraculous collections of flora and stone works surrounded by a mighty forest of pine trees. The resort of Golden Valley is well-known for its unique and matchless sites, such as artistic bonsai trees in interesting shapes and beautiful works with pretty names around the resort as "Garden of Silence", "Stream of Water-Rail Flowers" and "Great Pond" where lots of tourists love to saunter along.
