Langbiang Mountain
Langbiang is the highest peak overlooking Da Lat, reached either by a strenuous multi-hour hike or, far more commonly, by open-topped jeep up a winding road to a viewpoint near the summit. From the top there are wide views across the pine forests and farmland of the Da Lat plateau, and on clear days a good sense of just how high up this whole region sits.
The mountain is tied to a well-known local legend about two ill-fated lovers (Lang and Biang) from different ethnic minority groups, and the base area includes some minority-culture tourism activities like gong performances, though these lean touristy.
