To get to Dran Town, you have to go through Ngoan Muc Pass and Dran Pass, which is the real challenge for adventurous lovers. The pass is not long, but winding with rocky mountains on a side and chasm on the other. Because of its danger, the pass is quite deserted. Therefore, it still remains pristine and poetic beauty, featured by majestic natural sceneries, stunning pine forests, and colorful wildflowers on the roadsides.Photo: Lam Phu Nghiem

If you travel in the morning, you will see the mysterious attraction of the pass with vague mist. It’s like you are touching the white clouds with your fingers.Photo: Lam Phu Nghiem

The cooling weather, plus the quiet and peaceful atmosphere all year round make Dran Town an ideal place for relaxing, getting away from the noise of the crowded city.Photo: Lam Phu Nghiem

Unlike Da Lat, Dran town doesn’t have many species of flowers. However, in the dry season, between November and early December, the town is more attractive and more beautiful with stunning wildflowers.Photo: Lam Phu NghiemPhoto: Lam Phu Nghiem

Everywhere in the town, from pine tree hills to roadsides, from small gardens to large fields, is full of wildflowers, which provide for the town colorful surrounding landscapes and a perfect blend of people with nature.
