Set upon the south-central highlands and easily accessible via the airport in Da Lat, this is among the best places to find endemic birds in Vietnam. The plateau reaches elevations of over 2,000 meters, making it much cooler than the surrounding countryside (this climate also helps explain the evergreen forests on the plateau, uncommon for Vietnam). The Bi-Dup Nui-Ba Nature Reserve is located here, and has been designated an IBA.
