According to our research, the Dai Ly trend consists of videos filmed to the song “Sick Enough to Die” by MC Mong in 2010. These videos are set on Shang Er Avenue in Dali, Yunnan Province, China, which is known for its stunning scenery.
From this slope, tourists can capture the bustling street, the distant blue lake, and the majestic mountains in one frame. The check-in videos from this location quickly gained millions of views across various social media platforms.
Images from Shang Er Avenue went viral on China’s Douyin social media platform.
The Suong Nguyet Anh slope was discovered to offer a similar eye-catching effect as the Shang Er Avenue. From this slope, tourists can capture the romantic roads of Da Lat, the twinkling lights, and the giant artichoke sculpture in Lam Vien Square in one frame.
This slope is not unfamiliar to locals and tourists in Da Lat. It is considered a free yet “valuable” photo spot, offering a breathtaking view of the dreamy road and Xuan Huong Lake.

Nguyen Thao Trinh from Vinh Long visited Da Lat for the third time to join the “Dai Ly trend” at Suong Nguyet Anh slope.
“I came here at noon on February 14th, and there were still many tourists. This place is very beautiful and cool, with pine trees and a view of the street and Xuan Huong Lake. This place is already worth experiencing, and it has become even more popular due to the Dai Ly trend,” shared Thao Trinh.

Luu Gia Hao (born in 1994), a mobile video service provider in Da Lat, has created numerous million-view videos at Suong Nguyet Anh slope.
“This slope has been attracting tourists for several months. However, with the Dai Ly trend, the number of visitors has increased significantly, especially between 8-9 am and 5-6 pm. At times, it gets so crowded that it’s challenging to find a good filming angle. Lately, I’ve been suggesting that tourists come between 6-7 am,” said Hao.
According to Hao, to create an impressive “trend-following” video, in addition to choosing the right outfit and timing, tourists also need to understand the zoom technique and some video post-production tricks. To get the best results, it’s recommended to use a tripod to stabilize the shot.
The cost of hiring a photographer or videographer starts at a few hundred thousand VND per person.

According to the Lam Dong Province’s official website, Suong Nguyet Anh Road is 520 meters long and connects Ba Huyen Thanh Quan Street to Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street. The road is lined with villas on both sides.
In addition to the Suong Nguyet Anh slope, Vietnamese youth have discovered other slopes that can replicate the Dai Ly trend, such as Con Rong slope in Thuy Van (Vung Tau), a road in Nhon Hai fishing village (Quy Nhon), Mang Den pine forest (Kon Tum), and Dien Bien Phu Victory Monument (Dien Bien)…
The check-in videos at these locations have led many netizens to comment that “Vietnam has so many beautiful places, not inferior to foreign countries.”
