2007 10 15 - Dalat to Saigon, Vietnam

Bao Dai’s Summer Palace

Emperor Bao Dai built three large palaces in Dalat. The most-visited is referred to as Dinh 3, built in 1933 in art deco style and set in a pine grove near the Pasteur Institute southwest of the lake. Inside are portraits, busts and sculptures of the deposed imperial family, with the royal living quarters upstairs.
