An Bang Cemetery CITY OF GHOSTS — Local services in Thừa Thiên Huế Province

An amazing site. It has come about in just the last 20 years or so. After the war many people who fought on the losing side decided to flee Vietnam and became known as the boat people. Those who survived at sea and ultimately made it somewhere like California then sent money back to relatives who probably were unable to work because work was banned for south Vietnamese people who had supported that government. Most Vietnamese follow the religion of Cao Dai which is the worshipping of their ancestors.

If you're driving from Huế to Đà Nẵng, or vice-versa, you absolutely must take the road which passes through here. You will...

Pictures can’t do this place justice, it’s a magnificent and impressive web of independent structure. It is much grander when you can actually visit and explore this place in person.

My personal favorite thing to do is to explore this place at night. I swear this place get spooky for no reason at night, ever times I went here a mysterious sounding appear, it does not sound like anything that came from an animals or Human.

Overall, quite a magnificent place although it is getting crowded making it really difficult to run away from ghosts. I strongly recommend to wear sandal or open-toes shoes without socks because the ground is mostly sand and it gets into your insole even...
