The misty city of Da Lat in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong is among the nine most affordable Asian destinations for travelers for the August through September travel period, according to digital travel platform Agoda.
With an average room rate of US$57 per night between August 15 and September 30, Da Lat, which boasts a cool climate and beautiful landscapes, stood at the fifth place on the list.
Thailand’s Hat Yai topped the ranking at $36 per night, followed by Indonesia's Yogyakarta at $38 and Malaysia's Kuching at $54.
Other destinations on the list include Japan’s Narita ($58), India’s Goa ($66), Taiwan’s Taichung ($96), and South Korea’s Busan ($113).
According to Agoda, Da Lat has long been one of Vietnam’s most popular destinations, drawing in visitors who wish to explore the Valley of Love, the Da Lat Flower Garden, and the historic Da Lat Railway Station.
“Adventure seekers will also appreciate [Da Lat’s] proximity to Lang Biang Mountain, perfect for those who enjoy hiking and outdoor activities,” the platform said.
Agoda’s ranking pushed Da Lat past Thua Thien-Hue Province’s Hue City as Vietnam’s cheapest travel destination, with the latter having been named the country’s most affordable place in April.
