In addition to the melodious melody, Hoang Dung's MV "Muse" also touches the hearts of viewers because of the very affectionate footage, reminiscent of a Da Lat that is both familiar and strange. Get used to the trails under the green pine canopy, get used to the color of time in ancient architectural works. Then, somewhere, Da Lat is also strange when it appears with small corners that are not well known.
The Railway Tunnel - Where Time Stands Still
This destination appears in the MV 'Muse' with an old, mossy, ghostly look, because it has been abandoned for a long time. Perhaps, you will need a little courage to enter the tunnel, especially on cloudy, humid days. However, it is the patches of green moss clinging to the stone walls and bushes growing around the tunnel that create a very "poetic" backdrop for those who like to take pictures. In particular, the mystique of this place also stimulates travelers who like to conquer with the experience of going through dark tunnels. Overcoming your initial apprehensions, you will burst with excitement when admiring the "light at the end of the road" and capturing beautiful photo angles.
Address: The tunnel is located on the road to Cau Dat, about 7 km from Trai Mat.
Note: When looking for directions on Google Maps, avoid confusion between "train tunnel" and "train tunnel tourist area".
Cost: No fees

Da Lat Train - a nostalgic memory train
Da Lat Station is not too strange, but still appears full of surprises in the MV "Muse" with scenes inside the train line to Trai Mat. Instead of just standing outside the platform, don't hesitate to buy a ticket to experience the train back in time to the 1930s and 1940s. Here, you will be conquered by the wood-paneled train cars, nostalgic leather seats, and window curtains flying in the dreamy wind.
Address: No. 1, Quang Trung Street
Note: It takes about 25 minutes for the 7 km train line. When the train runs, it will be a little noisy, there is no food service or private toilet on the train.

At the end of the trip, you can visit Linh Phuoc Pagoda or Ve Chai Pagoda and explore Trai Mat before returning to Da Lat station.

Bao Dai Palace - Silence marks time
It is also the context in the MV "Muse", but Dinh Bao Dai is recognized by few people. Although located in the center of Da Lat, Bao Dai Palaces are almost isolated from all the noise and dust of the city by the vast forest. In particular, Dinh 2 and 3 are somewhat quieter and mossy because the traces of time are almost intact on the ancient fountain and the rows of columns and vine walls are sealed. On cold days, the scenery here becomes even more blurry under the mist mixed with each row of trees and leaves. Whether you are a professional or a non-professional mechanic, you will definitely find very loving and poetic angles here.
Location: Dinh 1 - No. 1, Tran Quang Dieu Street; Palace 2 - No. 12, Tran Hung Dao Street; Dinh 3 - No. 1, Trieu Viet Vuong Street
Note: Palace 2 is currently used as a guest house of the Provincial People's Committee. On the days of conferences and events, visitors will be limited.
Cost: Sightseeing ticket 30,000 - 50,000 VND/person
