Ripe Persimmon Season in Dalat
Cafes and persimmon gardens are popular check-in points for tourists visiting Dalat at this time.
Many tourists visiting Da Lat city (Lam Dong) between September 9 and 12 will take advantage of checking in at cafes and persimmon gardens. This is also a popular activity for Dalat visitors at the end of the year.
Attracting young people on weekends
Representatives of some rose gardens told us that customers, particularly young people, began to inquire about the ripe pink season as early as the end of August.
Tom's Persimmon Garden Coffee Shop representative Hoang Duc stated: "Dalat's persimmons are currently entering the season. The number of visitors who come to see me and check in with me is also higher than in previous periods. During the week, there are 150-200 guests; at the end of the week, the number rises to 300-400."
"The restaurant's persimmon garden has also begun to ripen, increasing the number of customers who come to check-in. Although there are no specific statistics, I notice a difference in the number of visitors on weekdays and weekends "Ngoc Lan, a representative for Túi Mơ To, explained.
According to cafe surveys, the majority of visitors interested in the ripe persimmon season are young people and small families. Young people prefer to stay in places with hot scenery, so they frequently "hunt" for destinations based on the criterion of "what season is awake."
Aside from the well-known attractions, the café has a lovely atmosphere... The persimmon garden is also a popular destination for many visitors. It will be difficult to compete in the market if the rose garden is only a check-in point.
Many visitors are also interested in new pink-themed activities and products.
As a result, in addition to the sightseeing and photography space, cafes and persimmon gardens on Dalat must organize a variety of new activities to attract customers.
Foothills Café's representative stated: "My shop has organized a persimmon picking activity in the garden for the first time this year. The number of visitors who expressed an interest far exceeded my expectations."
The salon welcomed over 40 guests to experience it from the very first session. Despite the fact that it is not the only or first place in Da Lat to carry out this activity, the shop continues to attract new customers.
Persimmon products are also popular among visitors. "In addition to drinking coffee and visiting the persimmon garden, many customers are interested in products made from persimmon," Hoang Duc explained.
Being hand-picked and seeing ripe persimmons makes visitors feel more confident in the product's quality. After eating on the spot, some people put large quantities as gifts, increasing revenue for restaurants and gardeners.
Visitors' favorite items include wind-hung persimmons, pink wine, crispy pinks, and so on.
Visitors will be interested in several homestays with rose gardens, in addition to garden houses or cafes, during this time. According to Zing's survey, some customers are willing to forego beautiful views in order to stay in homestays with persimmons plantations.
Some notes when checking in for the ripe persimmon season
Last weekend, tourist Le Thao (HCMC) visited a café on Da Lat's Khe Sanh Street to "hunt" for the ripe persimmons season. She did, however, express regret for not having had the full experience.
"I followed the shop on my fan page and saw pictures of ripe persimmons branches. I liked the atmosphere here, so I went for a drink and checked in using persimmons. However, when I arrived, I realized that the shop only had a small persimmons corner and was also very crowded, making it difficult to take pictures "According to Le Thao.
The female tourist continued: "In fact, as depicted in the image, the check-in area is quite small and not particularly poetic. I'm also a little down."
Visitors can refer to the following notes from cafe and gardener representatives in DaLat for the best experience with the ripe pink season:
The persimmons season typically begins on September 9 and lasts until the end of December 12. However, from October onwards, persimmon begins to ripen at its peak, and it is also the most beautiful season for persimmons.
Persimmons color selection: Ripe red persimmons, like tomatoes, are fruits that can be picked and consumed immediately. The fruits are yellow; orange is astringent and requires more time and processing before it can be used.
Suitable attire: If visiting early in the season, visitors may encounter rain, and the path in the persimmons gardens will be quite muddy. Clothing that is not too fussy, as well as dark shoes, will be appropriate for the check-in.
The time frame for photography: In general, visitors can take photos with persimmons from morning to afternoon. To avoid crowding, however, you should enlist early.
