Hồ Thủy Tiên, Abandoned water park in Huế, Vietnam.

Hồ Thủy Tiên is an abandoned water park in Huế featuring a prominent three-story dragon structure positioned over a lake with an aquarium and viewing platforms inside. The grounds include various recreational pools and facilities spread around the central water body, showing the scope of what once was a large leisure complex.

The park opened in 2004 as an ambitious entertainment venture but faced mounting financial pressures that led to its closure shortly after. Economic difficulties left the site in its current abandoned state.

Locals treat this place as their own space, visiting informally to swim and explore despite its abandoned state. The site has become a gathering point where the community maintains its own relationship with the location.

The site is located about 8 kilometers from central Huế and is best reached by motorbike through local roads that are easy to follow with digital navigation. Visitors should expect informal access arrangements upon arrival.

The park once housed crocodiles in its facilities, which were later relocated by animal welfare organizations to nature reserves. Today this animal history adds an intriguing layer to exploring the abandoned grounds.

Vietnam destinations: temples, caves, islands

Vietnam extends more than 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) from mountain regions in the north to the Mekong Delta in the south, offering travelers a wide range of natural and historical sites beyond urban centers. The country includes Buddhist temples like Bai Dinh and Thien Mu Pagoda, cave systems such as Son Doong and Hang En, and rice terraces at Y Ty and Hoang Su Phi. Geographic features span from limestone formations in Ninh Binh to coastal areas at Phu Quoc and Ly Son islands, and waterfalls at Ban Gioc along the Chinese border. Historical sites document different periods of Vietnamese history. The Imperial Citadel of Thang Long in Hanoi preserves royal palace remains, while Po Nagar Cham Towers in Nha Trang date to the 7th century. My Son Sanctuary in Quang Nam holds temple ruins from the Champa civilization, and Cu Chi Tunnels near Ho Chi Minh City served as an underground network during the Vietnam War. The Mekong Delta in the south consists of waterways, floating markets and traditional villages, while Mui Ne sand dunes and Lang Co Beach present different coastal landscapes.
