Dalat Railway Station was designed in 1932 by French architects Moncet & Reveron. The station opened to serve travelers coming up to the highlands from Saigon. The station has been largely unused since the Vietnam War. However, it was returned to limited service in the 1990s with the re-opening of a short section of track leading to the nearby village of Trai Mat, operated as a tourist excursion. Dalat Railway Station is notable for its unique architectural style. The building incorporates an art deco theme. The three roofs are meant to represent the three peaks of Dalat's iconic Lang Biang mountains. The architectural style is similar to Trouville-Deauville Station in Normandy.
