Xq Da Lat Art House — Local services in Da Lat City

I stumbled on the XQ Art House quite by accident as I was wondering around the super quaint city of Da Lat. Decided to pay the museum fee and take a peek and oh WOW I am sure glad it did. What an amazing place. This is a museum of exquisite fine art like no other I have ever seen.

The building and grounds alone are beautiful (though it's a bit worn inside - when I visited, they were redoing a lot). Finally, don't miss afternoon tea time. I only stayed because of being stuck due to a storm, but there's a big dining room with live music on a Chinese Guzheng with free pots of tea and cups of phin coffee. They also have small meals for sale for surprisingly...
