Da Lat (pop. 120,000
as of 1999, spelled Đà Lạt in
Vietnamese) is the capital of
Lâm Đồng Province in
Vietnam. The town is located 1500 m (4,920 ft) above
sea level on the Langbiang Plateau in the southern parts of the
Central Highlands (in Vietnamese - Tây Nguyên). According to a myth from the
French colonial era, the name derives from the acronym of the
Latin phrase 'Dat Aliis Laetitiam Aliis Temperiem' ("Giving Pleasure to Some, Freshness to Others"), which the French colonial government used in their official emblem of Đà Lạt. In reality the name derives from the language of the local
ethnic group Lạt and its original meaning is "Stream of the Lạt". In Vietnam, Đà Lạt is a popular tourist destination - highly appreciated for its temperate climate, beautiful sights such as waterfalls and lakes and its abundance of flowers and vegetables. It is the location of the Novotel Da Lat (formerly Da Lat Hotel) and Sofitel Da Lat (formerly Da Lat Palace built in
1922).
