(Van Thanh flower village – coffee plantation – Silk factory – rice wine making – Linh An pagoda – Elephant waterfall)
WHEN | WHERE | WHAT | GALLERY |
08:30 | VAN THANH FLOWER VILLAGE | The first destination was Van Thanh flower village which has been producing blooms since the late 1950s. Farmers first planted roses, gerberas, lylys…. on a trial basis and found the climate and soil conditions were in their favor. |
|
09:30 | COFFEE PLANTATION | A visit to a plantation will give an experience of weasel coffee. Wild weasels run around the plantations, eat the best and ripest coffee beans and then leave their droppings around with the coffee beans relatively undigested and intact. Experts say the enzymes inside the weasel's stomach give the beans a distinctive taste and aroma that connoisseurs are prepared to pay through the nose for. |
10:00 | RICE WINEMAKING | On other one-day tours, you will visit a rice liquor distillery to learn the process and try the finished product. Or they might take in a mushroom farm or even see wine made from ripe mulberry. |
11:00 | ELEPHANT WATERFALL | You will enjoy the imposing wild scene of Elephant waterfall (35m high – 40m wide), the 2nd widest waterfall in Lam Dong province. Next to the waterfall is Wind Cave having a narrow entrance between two cliffs, but inside the cave, there are many wide spaces and full of wind too impressive! Roaring like thunder! |
12:00 | Have your lunch at the local restaurant on the way (the tour guide will recommend the prestigious restaurant if require) |
13:00 | SILK FACTORY | It was fun to see how the workers make the scarves you see in stores and the way they process the silk. |
14:00 | LINH AN PAGODA | You will see a solemn pagoda – Linh An pagoda with 2 august dragons flaking on 2 sides. A giant Happy Buhda statue with 20 high meters behind the main hall of the pagoda and three huge statues of Buhda inside symbols of past – present – future. |
15:00 | CRICKET FARM | You will approach a cricket farm in full chorus. After taking a look around to learn how crickets are raised, you settled down to a crunchy meal of fried cricket with lemongrass and chilli. |
