A city to enjoy Vietnam's history and culture, Hue
Hue is a historic city that served as the last capital of Vietnam's Nguyen Dynasty. While it is less known among domestic tourists compared to Hanoi, Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Ho Chi Minh City, it is often included as a day-trip destination when visiting Da Nang.
As the final capital of the dynasty, Hue is home to iconic attractions such as palaces and imperial tombs. The harmonious blend of Western architectural styles and Vietnam's unique designs adds to the city's charm.
For travelers looking to avoid areas crowded with Korean tourists during their Vietnam trip, Hue is highly recommended. Unlike Da Nang or Hoi An, Hue has relatively fewer Korean visitors, offering a more authentic overseas travel experience.
Another notable advantage of Hue is its pleasant environment and well-maintained cityscape. While major cities in Vietnam often face issues like air pollution and inadequate urban planning, Hue offers well-developed park facilities along the Perfume River, perfect for jogging or cycling. A stroll along the scenic riverside will leave you with unforgettable memories, especially the stunning sunsets viewed from the riverbank.
Above all, the food in Hue is exceptional. Every restaurant in the region provides satisfying meals, and the affordable prices allow travelers to enjoy a variety of dishes without financial strain, making it a major attraction for visitors.
We highly recommend traveling to the charming city of Hue!

The abandoned water park in Hue
#traveldiaries
This is Ho Thuy Tien Waterpark in Hue. It was temporarily opened in 2004, and before the official opening, the entire playground was closed due to lack of support.
Even the locals don't know why.
After that, it became popular among locals and tourists as an abandoned playground. Originally a fun purpose, but now it's unusual, It happened to be disturbing.
It takes about 25 minutes and half an hour to get there by bike from Hue city in Vietnam 🇻🇳.

MUST VISIT attraction in Hue, Vietnam!
Tucked away in the middle of a forest in a quaint town called Hue in Vietnam is an abandoned dragon shaped water park on a lake. You can get here by motorbike or taxi and is usually free entry although the security guard is sometimes known to not let people in. The views from the very top are amazing because you can get inside the dragons mouth which is very unique. The surrounding lake and forest is beautiful and features a path all the way along for people who enjoy a walk through a calm nature area. #hue #Vietnam

A unique Dragon Structure in Vietnam
Hồ Thủy Tiên (Thuy Tien Lake) is a smallish natural lake located about 8km south of Hue’s Imperial City. An old entertainment complex that nowadays is abandoned.
Here you can find the famous dragon structure.
The park is currently open and unattended – we had no trouble moving around as we wished. You can even climb a staircase to the top of the dragon’s head.
The entrance fee is around 1$ each, no proper tickets are given, since is not a legal activity. The guard that should take care of the area accepts 1$ to let you visit the dragon. #Vietnam #hue

The most Creepy Park in Vietnam 😱
#vietnamtrip
Thuy Tien Lake Water Park or well-known as Hue Abandoned Water Park is located at Thien An Hill, about 7km from city center of Hue, Vietnam 🇻🇳
It is one most of the mysterious abandoned park in Southeast Asia that attracted thousands of international tourists especially from western countries for exploration of its creepy beauty.
The giant magnificent dragon sculpture is an iconic symbol of Hue Abandoned Water Park. When I walk inside to the dragon via the bridge walkaway, I feel like it is the scenes of Stephen King’s movie, its so horror & scares.
Walk cautiously inside the dragon because there are breaking glass on the ground. The graffiti walls inside the dragon made the atmosphere even more darkness.
If you are adventure seekers, you can’t be missed Hue Abandoned Water Park!
