Tuyen Lam Lake

Getting around: About 5-7km south of central Da Lat — a 15-20 minute taxi, Grab, or motorbike ride, and reachable via the same cable car station as Truc Lam Monastery, which overlooks the lake.
Hours: Open as a public area at all times; boat rental services generally operate roughly 7am-5pm.

Tuyen Lam is a large artificial lake ringed by pine forest south of Da Lat, used for boating, lakeside walks, and increasingly for resort development along its shores. It's a calmer, greener counterpart to the more central and built-up Xuan Huong Lake, with less urban infrastructure crowding the water's edge.

Paddleboats and small motorboats are available for rent, and it pairs naturally with a visit to Truc Lam Monastery on the hill above, or a coffee stop at one of the cafes along the shoreline.
