Popsugar Living Vietnam Abandoned Water Park in Vietnam Pictures Tourists Flock to This Abandoned Water Park in Vietnam Because, Well, Look at These Pics! 16 July 2019 by Victoria Messina View this post on Instagram A post shared by СМОТРИ СТОРИЗ-ЛЕТАЙ БЕСПЛАТНО (@nezlobina.t) on Jun 24, 2019 at 8:59am PDT Hồ Thuỷ Tiên may have closed its doors to the public years ago, but the now-abandoned water park in Vietnam still manages to attract throngs of adventurous visitors every day. First opened in 2004, the attraction mysteriously shut down just a few years later due to fiscal issues, leaving its grandeur at nature's mercy. Unkempt foliage and shattered glass now abound, and once-flowing water slides have transformed into dirt-covered graffiti magnets. The water park's centrepiece — a three-story-tall dragon-shaped aquarium on top of a lake — is now eerily discolored, cavernous, and devoid of the fish that formerly inhabited it. So how on earth do you reach this Jurassic Park movie-worthy destination? A quick search on Google Maps reveals Hồ Thuỷ Tiên's exact location, which is situated just outside the Vietnamese city of Huế. Word around town is that there's typically a "guard" at the desolate park's front gate, and visitors tend to tip them for access, so be sure to have cash on hand if you're planning to stop by. Ahead, take a virtual tour of the post-apocalyptic wonderland that is Hồ Thuỷ Tiên by admiring the semi-spooky pictures taken by recent visitors; they're sure to take your breath away. Now, who's up for a quick trip to Vietnam?
