According to the People's Committee of Lam Dong Province, a 60-year-old woman, Korean nationality, slipped and fell while taking photos in the Langbiang tourist area in Lac Duong district of Lam Dong province.

The woman was traveling with a group to the top of the mountain when she slipped while taking photos.

She was rushed to the Lam Dong Provincial General Hospital but later died.

There are warning signs posted in the area where she slipped.

Langbiang is located in Lac Duong district, 12 kilometers from tourism hotspot Da Lat. It is 1,200 meters above sea level and tourists either walk or travel by car to the top.

Lam Dong authorities have demanded that officials and tourism companies tighten safety measures.

On October 24, four Korean tourists died after their 4x4 jeep was swept away as they were driven across a stream in Lac Duong District, Lam Dong province. Their Vietnamese driver survived the crash but suffered some injuries.

The tourists who died, two men and two women, had paid for the jeep experience in Cu Lan Village Tourist Area. The bodies of three people were found around 2km from the location where the flash floods hit. The other tourist, who had managed to get out of the vehicle, died on the way to hospital.

The local authorities on October 25 issued a document recommending the temporary suspension of tourism and service activities at the Cu Lan Village Tourist Area. 

The provincial People's Committee is actively engaged in the recovery efforts, while the police are collaborating with relevant agencies to investigate and clarify the causes of the accident.
