Mosquitoes are part of life in Asia (and Australia too).聽 In Vietnam, there are places with fewer mosquitoes than other places, but I have yet to find any city where mosquitoes are completely absent.聽

In the lowland areas of Nguy峄卬 C么ng Tr峄�, Nguy峄卬 Th峄� Ngh末a, Nam K峄� Kh峄焛 Ngh末a, Nam H峄�, Tr岷 H瓢ng 膼岷, and 膼脿o Duy T峄� streets where the ground is often wet, mosquitoes are more noticeable than the dry and cool areas of Ph霉膼峄昻g Thi锚n V瓢啤ng, B霉i Th峄� Xu芒n, V玫 Tr瓢峄漬g To岷, Tr岷 Ph煤, etc.

Due to the cool climate and higher elevation, the mosquitoes in Da Lat are believed to be rarely poisonous even with the larger amount of vegetations and bodies of water.聽 I don't remember reading about Dengue fever there even during the mosquito epidemic in 2010.
