Da Lat History

Dalat for long had been inhabited by a number of ethnic minorities, but was introduced to the modern world in the 19th century by Alexandre Yersin, a Swiss-French bacteriologist, who attempted expeditions into the south of the Central Highlands of Vietnam for a few times. Then, the city was planned to have been the capital of Indochina replacing Hanoi by the French Colonial Government. With the French fall at Dien Bien Phu, the plan was not completed, though a few thousand French-styled villas which had been built during the time remain to be part of the elegant charm of the city.
