DESPERATE

That was the first word I could say when I first went to a place as beautiful as this in Da Lat. Why was I reckless? Because I had more courage to be able to reach this place in the early morning. I remember very clearly, waking up at 03.00am and getting ready to ride a motorbike to reach the top of San May Cau Dat.

Traveling a fairly steep road, of course using a motorbike would be very fast but I didn't know the terrain was that steep. Really, I was very traumatized remembering the early morning journey where I couldn't even see anything in front for 20 meters. I could only pray in my heart while saying, 'Save Me, God'.

The coldness of Da Lat city that morning reached 7 degrees Celsius, I who was only wearing a simple coat even felt like I was being stabbed with small needles and many around my body. Then I hoped that everything would arrive quickly. But, my suggestion is to just use a car, or you can use a motorbike, but come a little later. So that the road feels brighter and the temperature starts to rise.

Finally, San May Cau Dat

You can see, the view when I first arrived, really just arrived. It was still very dark until I waited for the sun to rise without shame. Stopped and parked my motorbike near a food vendor who was using a motorbike. We were told to just sit there and warm our bodies with whatever firewood was available. Of course this wasn't free, but it was better, because the price was cheap, we could get some food like eggs, roasted sweet potatoes and also coffee (let's call it; Caphe Sua).

While warming up my very cold body. Understandably, I come from a city with tropical weather. Experiencing quite a severe cold trauma, so, I still felt like I was frozen in San May Cau Dat. Instead of being able to see the tea plantation, all I saw was the morning darkness. But, slowly everything started to get brighter, because the sun started to rise and the temperature also rose.

I really enjoyed it with a milk coffee that I bought and sat while looking at the beautiful scenery, like dusk. There were streaks of orange with dark blue mixed with light blue. Truly, this creation of God is so perfect and very beautiful to behold.

The windmills also started to move and rotate their turbines. When I arrive, there were only a few that were rotate, but as the morning get closer and the wind start to get stronger, almost all the turbines were rotating. This was the first time I had seen something like this. I was amaze because it was so beautiful. It turned out that my struggle to ride a motorbike and travel for more than 1 hour in the early morning paid off with a miracle that really made me proud of myself for wanting to struggle to get here.

The view of the windmills above the tea plantation is truly amazing. Until 08.00 am we were still taking photos and capturing the moment. There is nothing else I can describe other than saying, 'you have to come here to enjoy life'. Good weather, full of clouds, fresh air and amazing views are things that cannot be bought with anything.

I looked around my view, this place produces many productive plants such as tea and vegetables. At the end of the hill, I saw something like a strawberry garden covered with a greenhouse, or maybe other fruit plants that are being cultivated. Vietnam, especially in the Da Lat area, does produce a lot of agricultural products. Even beautiful flowers are also widely cultivated by farmers whose houses and gardens are located on the side of the road.

In your opinion, what part do you like about Da Lat city? Let me know.
