Attractions of Dalat: #19 Dinh ll
Dinh ll is the second of the three palaces built in Dalat and is located on a pine tree covered hillside 1540 metres above sea level. It is just 2 kilometres from the centre of town. It was constructed in 1933 as the summer palece for the then Governor of Indochina, Jean Decoux.
There are 25 opulent rooms in the palace, ensuring luxury living and working space. There are also secret tunnels to ensure the safety of the occupants. It became the home of Ngo DinhNhu and his family. Also in 1964 then General Nguyen Khan came to power, this was his chosen residence.
It has two floors above ground and a basement of equal size. From the glorious vineyard here there are excellent views of Xuan Huong Lake. Beyond the lake, Lang Biang Mountain rises.

I have been developing the InSeAsia website for three years. It genuinely is a labour of love. I have lived in Southeast Asia for 9 years and have no plans to ever leave.
I am extremely grateful to anyone who follows me, up votes, comments or re-steems my work.
Come and check me out. If ever you come to Saigon, Vietnam get in touch and we can meet up.
