Cau Dat Tea Hills
Đồi chè Cầu Đất
A century-old tea plantation first developed by the French in 1927. Mist drifts over the tea rows at dawn, making it a sunrise photo spot. You can also visit an old tea factory.
Cau Dat Tea Hills lies in Xuân Trường commune, about 25 km southeast of Da Lat, at an elevation of about 1,500 m. The French developed it into a tea plantation in 1927. It still has a century-old tea factory, where you can see the tea-making process and old machinery. Rolling green tea rows stretch up to the mountainside. Mist often rises between 6 and 8 a.m., making it one of Da Lat's most popular sunrise and photography spots. Wind turbines stand nearby. Visitors can stroll the tea paths for free, and the tea garden café serves tea with views. It takes about 40 minutes to get there by motorbike or hired car, so it is best to set out early in the morning.
