Slow Living in Bao Loc

Many tourists still think of Bao Loc city (Lam Dong province) as a stopover rather than a destination. But when coming here, tourists will be surprised by the interesting experiences. In particular, Bao Loc is also known by backpackers as a beautiful place to hunt clouds all year round.

Bao Loc is known as the city of cloud hunting.

Bao Loc, formerly known as B'lao, is a peaceful small city located on the Di Linh plateau, Lam Dong province. With a spacious, green space and a temperate climate, Bao Loc is located at an altitude of 900m above sea level. The terrain here has many different forms, but mainly steep hills, high mountains and valleys. In the early morning, the whole city is immersed in a poetic, dreamy mist. February and March are the most beautiful times of the year in Bao Loc with dry, cool weather.

Coming to Bao Loc, visitors cannot miss the cloud hunting spots and beautiful sunrise viewing spots in Dai Binh mountain cluster such as: Linh Quy Phap An, Loc Thanh cloud pass... Each mountainside has different beauty with many homestay services, coffee shops, camping... suitable for visitors to trek, stay, and see the whole view of Bao Loc city at night and early morning in the magical mist.

Many tourists come here to camp the night before so they can hunt clouds early the next morning. If you are familiar with the above locations, you can hunt clouds and welcome the sunrise in Blao Sre valley, about 15km from Bao Loc center. This valley seems to retain the wildness and beauty of the mountainous region. The rolling tea hills located between the transitional terrain between Bao Loc pass and Dai Binh mountain look like upside-down bowls. Therefore, people often call this area Bat Up hill.

The clouds drifting over the tea hills create a magical scene for visitors to capture wonderful images. It is known that tea trees have a long history in Bao Loc. Whether in agriculture, economy or tourism, tea always contributes a significant part to the development of this city. There is a fairly large campus with ancient architecture of the house, which is "Vong Nguyet Tea". Therefore, you can both hunt for clouds and enjoy tea according to the ancients.

In addition, the wild and pure beauty of waterfalls, rivers, and lakes amidst the cool green mountains and forests is also a characteristic of Bao Loc. Tourists can visit: Nam Phuong Lake, Cay Cau Waterfall, Bay Tang Waterfall, Da Ban Stream, Cat Stream, Tao Hong Lake... In particular, watching the Bao Loc sunset from these places will be an unforgettable experience. Dambri Waterfall (meaning "waiting") is a legendary waterfall of the B'lao mountain forest, associated with the legend of the faithful love of a couple. The waterfall is about 60m high, and is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Vietnam.

When coming here, visitors should not forget to visit the long-standing brocade weaving village of the Chau Ma people, camp overnight, experience tree houses, gongs and enjoy rice wine. Bao Loc also has many spiritual places such as churches, ancient pagodas with deep cultural, religious and artistic values. You can visit Bao Loc church, Thanh Mau church, La Vang church, B'Do church... with East-West architecture combined with traditional national values.

Developing tourism in the direction of an ecological and agricultural tourism city is being focused on by Bao Loc. Tourists can choose resorts by streams, waterfalls, and hills to live slowly and feel the simple beauty of Bao Loc's mountains and forests. Or simply watch the city at night, then enjoy a cup of coffee in the misty morning.
