Thuy Tien Lake — Attraction in Hue City

So, this abandoned water park outside Hue has been closed for some mysterious reason since 2006, but it's famous for this epic dragon head sticking out of Thuy Tien Lake.

In the dragon there are some creepy areas where nature has taken over. It is such a beautiful area. I'm so happy I went there. Side note the road is a bit bumpy in some spots so...

Amazing and unique experience, one of the best things to do in Hue for adventurous people. This abandoned waterpark had a few strangely located structures scatter around a huge human-made lake. We could not really imagine how this park could have worked in 2004 with those very long walking distances and without restaurants. We decided to drive to the back entrance with our scooters and a "security guard" immediately drove to us, handed us a small handwritten paper with a note that the park is unsafe. We offered to pay 20k dong per person, promised to not climb anywhere, and were ready to...
