Anyone who has ever set foot in Dalat, even just once, will find it hard to forget the fresh, cool air, the endless green pine hills, the winding roads covered in fog and the unique cold sunlight that can be found nowhere else.

However, like all the flows of history, Da Lat is now entering a new phase with the whole country, marked by major administrative changes and the transformation of the urban appearance itself. On July 1, 2025, an important event will take place, marking a turning point in the city's history. The familiar name "Da Lat city" will officially "disappear" from the administrative map, giving way to a new look, with wards with names that seem strange, but are very close and poetic to the people of Da Lat.

Xuan Huong Ward - Da Lat, Cam Ly - Da Lat, Lam Vien - Da Lat, Xuan Truong - Da Lat, Lang Biang - Da Lat. Five new names, five pieces of the puzzle will continue to create a colorful picture of Da Lat in the future. Each name carries a story, a unique meaning, associated with history, culture, agency and are typical symbols of the city.

This change may make many people feel disappointed and regretful. However, as shared by the Chairman of the People's Committee of Da Lat City, Mr. Dang Quang Tu, who was also born and raised in this city: Da Lat will not disappear. The essence of Da Lat will continue to be in the atmosphere, in the fog, in the green pine forests and imbued in the culture and behavior of the people in this city. I love and am very proud of Da Lat city, a 132-year-old city. A city with love for the land and love for people blended together. Although the city no longer exists, the people of Da Lat, tourists in general and I personally will always preserve the good memories of the city, will continue to build and develop the historical values of this land.

In the hearts of the city's residents, the affirmation "Da Lat will not disappear" - on the contrary, will become stronger and deeper. I believe that, despite wearing a new coat, Da Lat will always be an ideal destination, a place to find peace, and an endless source of inspiration for souls who love beauty. Da Lat, a shape, a place to go will forever remain in everyone's heart.

General Secretary To Lam, during his recent working trip to Lam Dong , also highly appreciated the way Da Lat City named its wards with full cultural and historical elements. And through the naming of the new wards, we have also seen the difference of Da Lat. Those names are a way to preserve Da Lat, the name that has captivated tourists for generations.

Whether it is now or in the future, no matter how the name changes, Da Lat is still Da Lat, still gentle, poetic and will always captivate the heart of anyone who loves this land.
