Xuan Huong Lake Relics

When mentioning Da Lat, no one knows about Xuan Huong Lake, a beautiful lake located right in the center of Da Lat city. Xuan Huong Lake is an artificial lake, with a circumference of about 5km and 25ha wide. The lake has the shape of a crescent moon, stretching more than 2 km and passing through many famous tourist attractions of Da Lat such as the City Flower Garden, Yersin Park, Cu Hill and Lam Vien Square. According to people here, the origin of the name Ho Xuan Huong comes from two different legends. The first legend says that every spring, there is a faint, fragrant scent around the lake, ecstatic. That's why people gave the lake the name Xuan Huong Lake. However, the second legend says that Ho Xuan Huong was named after a 19th century Vietnamese female poet named Ho Xuan Huong. Ho Xuan Huong is the author of a number of famous poems such as Floating Water Cake, Life as a Monk, Debt to Husband and Children,... Xuan Huong Lake was originally a large valley, and Cam Ly stream flowed through. In 1919, engineer Labbe blocked this stream so that water could accumulate and form a lake. Then, in 1923, French engineers built a dam at the bottom of the lake, but it broke after a storm in 1932. Engineer Tran Dang Khoa then rebuilt a new dam. made of stone. In 1989, Xuan Huong Lake was recognized by our state as one of the famous landscapes and historical relics in Da Lat, ranked as a national monument. Source: Da Lat tourism information portal
