Lang Biang Peak — Attraction in Lâm Đồng Province

Completely and utterly terrible, and a thorough rip off...a disgrace to DaLat tourism. The extremely exorbitant price for entry, adults 250,000 dong, is practically criminal. Even half that price would be too expensive for this atrocious attraction. I'll say it now....AVOID THIS HORRIBLE EXTORTIONIST SITE!!! (You are better off visiting Đường Hầm Điêu Khắc - Sculpture Tunnel, or Khu Du Lịch - Fresh Garden Dalat which are both far superior and very impressive tourism places. ) Listen and take sound advice from all the bad reviews this place gets...they're no exaggeration. I should have listened but instead I still went, even with a positive attitude and optimistic thoughts. These were thoroughly shattered within 30 minutes of my arrival. The only thing I found "good" was the tacky, wax museum (actually latex models). The latex statues are so bad it's comical and I couldn't help laugh at how bad they are and so far from resembling the people that they're supposed to represent. (The googly eyes of Leonardo DiCaprio, the bald patch on Sylvester Stallone and the ominous, zombie-like stares of David & Victoria Beckham.....all so bad it's laughable 🤣). The garden displays in ALL sections are extremely poor along with the majority of statues (goofy looking Giraffes, Leopards that have lost all their colour, badly designed Elephants). Adding to this, most of the fountains are not working and ponds either disgustingly dirty or lacking in water. Also the majority of restaurants and several stalls/shops were closed. The boring glass bridge at an extra 200,000 dong is a deplorable scam and should be included in the entry price. It is no wonder that the staff out number the visitors. The transportation carts to the outlining areas are driven by the rudest and most ignorant Vietnamese people I've ever encountered (and I love the Vietnamese people, who are so friendly and helpful....with the exception of this crew!). I walked on ahead from Vong Canh Hill section, to take in the park areas and one cart refused to stop even though there were empty seats, and the next one I had to physically get in it's way in order for the driver to stop...or else he would've driven on by. Beware of sitting at the back of these carts as the drivers only slow down enough for the front wheels to cross the speed humps afterwhich they speed up and if your on the back of the cart expect to be launched out of your seat when the back wheels launch over the speed humps as the driver speeds up. You can also expect to wait 10-15 minutes or more for a cart to depart the station areas. Note; the entry fee is just that, an entry fee. Although the bad transportation carts are included everything else costs extra....and is pricey (from the glass bridge, the paddle boats, the over enthusiast photographers, and ALL food and drinks are shockingly overpriced....food is terrible and you will hear a lot of "do not have"!!!) On a small positive note, you are allowed to visit with your dog (providing it is leashed...although one photographer had his dog with him and that was unleashed, and bothered my...

My family of 13 visited this attraction on the recommendation of our driver. Unbeknownst to us, the park closes at 5pm (we got there at 3:30pm). Tickets were 250k/vnd per guest and were not prorated, meaning we paid an all day fare for a little over an hour of sightseeing.

I admit, I was negligent for not doing my research beforehand, but in my defense, we had wanted to go to a different park, but our initial destination was closed for maintenance, hence, why we ended up at The Valley of Love.

While purchasing tickets, I felt something was off. The ticket lady came to meet us at our car and did not allow us to purchase our tickets at the box office. Additionally, she would not allow us to pay with credit card - cash or vnd wire transfer only. She also told us that since we only had a little bit of time left, we could stay after closing and wait for the next attraction, Garden of Lights or something, which starts at 5pm and ends at 11pm.

The printed ticket states there’s an additional fee for this attraction but the ticket lady assured us we were 100% allowed to stay behind after the park closure at 5pm in order for us to enjoy this next attraction - and stressed no additional fee necessary.

And we did. We went around The Valley of Love for little over an hour and stayed for The Garden of Lights afterwards. But, the park was totally deserted. There were maybe 5-7 people besides us at the location of the lights. By 6pm, I flagged down an employee asking when the lights were going to be turned on, since it was already an hour past the start time.

The employee was a little taken aback but she did call and do some magic because within 10 mins, the lights came on and it was beautiful. This employee did stop me a little while later and inquire about how my family got tickets because when she phoned down, the other side claimed they had not sold tickets for anyone yet, hence, they hadn’t turned on the lights.

You could imagine my surprise at hearing this. I explained to her what the ticket lady earlier had told me but the employee said that they were two separate entities and there was no such thing as paying for The Valley of Love and getting a package deal for The Garden of Lights.

Nevertheless, this employee did not give us a hard time and told us since we were here, they weren’t going to make us leave. This whole experience left a sour taste in my mouth and our party left shortly after.

I would like to thank The Garden of Lights employee for being kind to us! But, I am appalled at the misrepresentation of the ticket lady. 250k times 13 is only 3m250k vnd = $130 usd at the time of this review - not bank breaking but being had/scammed is a terrible feeling.

In hindsight, if I knew we only had little over an hour left, I would not have visited this park. If I had a full day? Yes, absolutely.

I don’t understand why the ticket lady would lie to us, other than maybe she gets a % of her total sales as commission?

Regardless, I won’t...

I rarely review but I had to and we travel a lot! Is it worth it to go with children under 140cm aprox 6yr old and under. NO. is it worth staying in the room? No. stay in the city and save money. rent a cheap upscale hotel and buy the day pass to the park if traveling with older kids. we stayed in a villa and theres nothing to do here only beach, pool and theres common area with bars but its empty. U can also visit the other sections but not pedestrian friendly. everything is by a community trolley/car. the villa is probably good for big family groups having a bday party or wedding but again its way better to stay in the city. we left the island for entertainment and food during our stay.

the Park: our villa said access to the park and we are a family of 5. when we arrive it was only 2 tickets per days stayed but its not unlimited access to the park while staying here. The garden, animals, and aquarium were nice. the waterpark only has one area for children under 130cm and its in the end of the park, and some sprinkler areas througout but thats more for small babies. the lazy river did not go all around, we got on my the small kids area nd it left us back to the front. we had to walk a lot to go back to kids area. the bouncy house on the shallow beach water and trampoline area inside adventure world had a height requirement and my kids couldnt get on by an inch. mind u in other countries we always go to the same trampoline and bouncy house as those with no problems.. The water park closes at 4pm and the dry rides are rarely open. not enough employees to keep each ride open all day. "come back at 6:50pm" that wasnt just one but multiple rides. Ferris wheel was inop. so basically didnt get on half the dry rides because it wasnt open at the time.

they need to lower the height requirement for a lot of water rides that arent even dangerous specially when with an adult. They need to extend then time of the park and have rides actually all open so whoever doesnt want to do the other stuff can enjoy the park. they needed to provide unlimited access to the park to people with the villa pkg.

The employees were amazing and very reliable but theres nothing they could do to make this place more than 2stars. The location is very clean and beautifully design but i would not return its not worth it at all. I paid $$$$ for a nice room with beach, pool, zoo, garden and small kids water area. All could be done for half the price in the city and same nice...
