Having just been to Barcelona four months before, and visited a number of Gaudi buildings, I just couldn't believe this place! It it unlike anything else you will see in Vietnam. The architect's family history made it all the more fascinating. Dalat is lovely anyway, but this place alone would be worth a trip. More

This place is almost impossible to describe: architecture twisted and warped to the extreme limits of imagination, wherever you turn your eyes you grab your camera and shoot. Not a single corner or plant doesn't deserve your attention. Compared to this Gaudi looks like a formal and boring guy. It's a work in progress....when you get there you'll probably see... More

This crazy place (also called the "Crazy House") is a must see on a visit to Dalat. Easily reachable from the centre of Dalat. Some wonderfully weird architecture, and the house is still a work in progress, as building is still going on continuously! More

LOGISTICS I did this as a part of my $15 easy rider tour of the city. These tours are good value as they take you to several sites in the city that are pretty far apart. It also gives you a chance to test your easy rider and if you want to go on a longer tour with them. If... More

I had heard from other travelers that they enjoyed this an unconventional building designed and constructed by Vietnamese architect Dang Viet Nga. Described as a “fairy tale house”, the building’s overall design resembles a giant tree, incorporating sculptured design elements representing natural forms such as animals, mushrooms, spider webs and caves. Its architecture, comprising complex, organic, non-rectilinear shapes, has been... More

We were a little wary of going in thinking we'd be paying for something not that interesting. We then were offered a discount and paid 20,000 per person which persuaded us. We were so glad we went in! The architecture is crazy, creative and some bits are quite scary to go over with amazing heights and little barricades! We enjoyed... More

Hang Nga's Crazy House is a great place to spend an hour or so, wandering around the crazy rooms and architecture, admiring all the details. It has a lot of Gaudi-esk and natural shapes. I loved it, but I guess it's a matter of taste. The views of Da Lat from up top of the Crazy House are also pretty... More

Lonely Planet gives a 12,000d entrance fee (current edition, I checked) We were charged 30,000d each due to new additions apparently! The place is falling apart, paint coming off the walls, its not attractive and smells. You can even stay here if you wish! Who would, I dont know! The new attractions that we paid an extra 18,000d for is... More

We paid 30 000vnd/adult and we spent less than 30 minutes there. Another wing of the 'hotel' is still under renovation and would only be completed in 2015. The rooms with theme of animals and insects didn't attract our 2 girls, age 3 and 5, and in fact, the figures of the animals and insects in the rooms looked scary!... More
