Da Lat (English spelling)

Japanese: ダラト（英語表記）Da Lat

The capital of Lam Dong Province in south-central Vietnam. It is located about 230 km northeast of Ho Chi Minh City, on the Lam Bien Plateau, which is part of the Central Plateau of Vietnam. It is cool because it is located at an altitude of about 1,500 m, and the average annual temperature does not exceed 20 °C. The annual precipitation is about 1,800 mm, and most of it falls from July to October when the southwest monsoon blows. Developed by France as a summer resort in the early 20th century, it became known as one of Vietnam's leading resort cities. There are beautiful lakes, hills, pine forests, and waterfalls in and around the city. The surrounding area is a major producer of highland vegetables and flowers, and the city is also a distribution center for them. There are Dalat University (1958) and the Pasteur Institute. Ethnic minorities live in the suburbs. A branch line from the main railway line connecting the capital Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City extends to the city, and a main road connects it to Ho Chi Minh City.

ベトナム中南部，ラムドン省の省都。ホーチミン市の北東約 230km，ベトナム中部高原の一部をなすラムビエン高原にある。標高約 1500mの高地にあるため涼しく，年平均気温は 20℃をこえない。年降水量は約 1800mmで，その大部分は南西の季節風が吹く7～10月に降る。 20世紀初めよりフランスが避暑地として開発し，ベトナム有数の保養都市として知られるようになった。市内外には大小の湖，丘，マツ林，滝などがあり，風光明美。周辺一帯は高原野菜と花卉の一大産地で，市はその集散地ともなっている。ダラト大学 (1958) ，パスツール研究所がある。近郊には少数民族が住む。首都ハノイとホーチミン市を結ぶ幹線鉄道から分岐する支線が市まで延びているほか，ホーチミン市との間に幹線道路が通じている。
