Not only famous for its wild sunflowers and cherry blossoms, Da Lat also attracts tourists with its fruit-laden persimmon gardens every autumn. In the chilly weather, sitting with a hot cup of coffee and gazing at the orange-hued garden, visitors can fully enjoy the unique tranquility of the foggy city.

1. Rung Nhiet Doi Cafe – Pink hues on Prenn Pass

Located about 5 km from the center of Da Lat, Rung Nhiet Doi Cafe is perched on Prenn Pass with a poetic landscape. The cafe is surrounded by a vibrant red persimmon garden, interspersed with miniature landscapes, a pond, and a green lawn. In addition to taking photos, visitors can pick and buy persimmons. The menu offers a variety of drinks and light snacks at reasonable prices. However, the cafe is often crowded on weekends, so it's best to arrive early to get the best seats. Note that the cafe does not have a motorcycle parking area; visitors need to park at nearby households.

2. Bao Tien Mot Mo Binh Yen - Lost in an ancient persimmon garden

Tucked away on Mimosa Pass, this cafe impresses with its quiet space, surrounded by persimmon trees nearly half a century old.

A highlight is the wooden bridge over a stream, covered by the fruit-laden persimmon canopy. The cafe has no entrance fee; you only need to order something. In addition to drinks, they also serve dishes like grilled chicken, bamboo-cooked rice, chicken hotpot, and sturgeon, and sell fresh persimmons to take home.
