Did I mention in my previous blog post that Dalat is also famous for their cricket farm? If I didn't, let me reemphasize again that Dalat is also famous for their cricket farm. It is just 10,000vnd per person to take a very short tour of this tiny little farm. It is just about 5 - 10 minutes tour.  There is no guide unless you understand Vietnamese but there are graphical explanation in English for you to understand more about it. This picture has just shown you everything that you will see in this farm. Yes, as I have said earlier, it is a very tiny farm. You will be listening to the cricket sound from far. The lava state. The teenage stage which is not ready to be eaten yet. Now this is the fully grown cricket which is fat enough to be eaten. The fee will include a small tester dish for you to try this tasty gourmet.

Bao Dai is the last emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty in Vietnam’s feudal regime. When mentioning about Bao Dai Summer Palace, there are, actually, three palaces which are the First, Second and Third Palace, all are located in Da Lat City, a charming romantic paradise. However, the third palace is much more famous and beautiful than the other two ones, so people usually call it Bao Dai Palace for shortening. Bao Dai Palace (Palace III) was constructed by a French architect and Vietnamese architect Huynh Tan Phat during 6 years, from 1933 to 1938. The palace was surrounded with Ai An forest on the hill-top, under Dalat embellishment project for head-of-state Palace by Hébrard. The entire building is deeply influenced by European architectures with a harmony between pine forests and parks.
