On the same day, Vietnam Railways Corporation also inaugurated a screening room to present a documentary film about Da Lat railway station.
The Da Lat train station was built in 1932 and put into use in 1936. The line includes seven kilometers of the track between Da Lat City and Trai Mat. The remaining section of more than 83 kilometers connecting Da Lat and Thap Cham station in Ninh Thuan Province was destroyed in the war and abandoned in the late 1960s.
The 7km long tourist railway, running from Da Lat center to Trai Mat station was reconstructed and operated for tourism purpose since 1997.
Currently, the station is one of the attractive tourist destinations in Da Lat. The Ministry of Culture and Information certified the Da Lat railway station as a national historical and cultural site in 2001. It was also considered the nicest ancient railway station in all Indochina.
