Located on Tran Quoc Toan Street in central Da Lat, Lam Vien Square is one of Vietnam's largest squares, with a capacity of around 60,000 people.

Lam Vien Square is not just a spacious plaza but a living museum of modern architecture harmonizing with Da Lat's nature. Here are the unmissable spots and experiences:

• Giant Artichoke Bud: Standing over 15 meters high, this structure is framed in steel and green-yellow stained glass simulating flower petals. Inside is the Highlands Coffee cafe.
• Giant Wild Sunflower Building: An 18-meter-tall icon with a floor area of 1,200 m², designed in a semi-circular shape featuring a curved, vibrant yellow glass roof. This structure also serves as an outdoor theater for major performances and events.
• Musical Fountain & Green Space: A fountain performing rhythmically to music, especially enchanting at night.
• Underground Commercial & Entertainment Complex: Beneath the square lies a supermarket, retail shops, a theater, and entertainment areas. At night, LED lights illuminate the glass structures, creating a magical space like a city in a dream.
• Cultural & Culinary Experiences: Enjoy Vietnamese grilled rice paper (Da Lat pizza), roasted sweet potatoes, and avocado ice cream by the lake. Attend the Da Lat Flower Festival if your visit coincides. At night, street performances, live music, and the nearby night market make the atmosphere livelier than ever.
