Da Lat topped the list of bookings for the National Day according to the Dutch-based agency which conducted an analysis of check-in dates between Aug. 31 and Sept. 3.
Located 1,500 meters above sea level, Da Lat is known for its year-round cool climate and architectural gems dating back to French colonial times.
In September, temperatures there range from 17 to 24 degrees Celsius.
Da Nang, which was the most loved destination during last year's National Day holiday break, is now in second position.

Recently, My Khe and Non Nuoc beaches in Da Nang were named among the world's best by British newspaper The Daily Telegraph.
The southern beach city of Vung Tau, around a two-hour drive from HCMC, came in third.
Vung Tau has always been one of the busiest destinations in the south during national holidays as crowds flood the three-kilometer-long Bai Sau, also known as Thuy Van beach.
