Vietnam's feral ABANDONED WATER PARK offers access to a post-apocalyptic funscape, now with fewer crocodiles.
Opened in 2004 at a price tag of approximately three million USD, the Ho Thuy Tien water park opened its gates to the public when it was only partially completed. Bankrolled by Company Hue Tourism, debuting a half-finished dream turned out to be a bad business move; but, in an odd turn of events, ever since its closure, the park has provided Hue's tourism industry with an off-the-books boon they never could have seen coming.
In the heyday of Ho Thuy Tien, adults and children alike were magnetically attracted to the park's signature giant, three-story-tall dragon aquarium. Rising from the lake at the park's center, manta rays and sharks lined the walls of the interior staircase, built to resemble a dragon's rib cage. On all sides of the dragon's bowels were aquarium tanks full of live fish and crocodiles. These crocs would later rival the dragon as superstars of the abandoned park, as well.

Even with an excited population of park-goers flocking to Ho Thuy Tien, drawn by the promise of cool waters and good times, something was amiss. Within just a few years, the business continued to experience problems. After it shuttered, plans to resurrect the park from its fiscal troubles by turning it into an eco-park swirled throughout Hue's local media as recently as 2013. Instead, those revitalization plans died on the table, leaving the park to become a legendary destination for travelers to the region.

HANOI || SUMMIT LOUNGE: If you’re looking for an elevated view across Hanoi’s lakes and the Red River, it’s hard to be beat the Summit Lounge at the Sofitel Plaza Hotel It’s at its best in the late afternoon and at sunset.
There are happy hour deals to make the visit a little easier on the wallet.
The Summit Lounge has an open air timber deck that enjoys wonderful views across West Lake and Truc Bach lake - where John McCain’s A-4E Skyhawk was shot down in October 1967.
The view east is across the Red River and tracks the city’s sprawl through ancient agricultural land.
The views are best on clear or stormy summer nights. In winter, Hanoi's trademark mist creates a very different, but no less atmospheric scene.
Indoors, the feel is more upmarket and targeted at the cocktail set that passes by in the evenings.
Prices are on the high side for Hanoi - but as you’d expect in an international hotel.
