Experiences in Da Lat
- Listen and read. 🎧
Tom: Hi, Mi. I've been back from Da Lat. I have some local specialities for you.
Mi: Thanks, Tom. I guess you and your family had a great time there.
Tom: Yeah. We visited Langbiang Mountain and Cu Lan Village. We saw a gong show in the evening.
Mi: What did you do on Langbiang Mountain?
Tom: We rode a jeep to the top. It was a thrilling ride up there. Then we took an eco-tour of Langbiang Mountain. They said that the area is rich in flora and fauna with more than 150 plant and animal species.
Mi: Sounds amazing! What did you do then?
Tom: We took pictures of the magnificent scenery. It was really enjoyable!
Mi: Then did you explore Cu Lan Village?
Tom: Yes. We had a brilliant tour around the village. We also rode horses and a jeep along a stream.
Mi: That must have been exciting, Tom.
Tom: It definitely was. In the evening, we saw an interesting gong show. We danced and sang with the locals. And we tried grilled pork. It was a really memorable evening. I'll show you some pictures I took there.
Mi: Cool!
