1.1. Thuy Tien Abandoned Water park before closing:

Built-in 2000, Thuy Tien Lake costs a big budget for building. As a plan, it would have a great variety of entertainment areas including the Aquarium Palace (Thuy Cung), A Thrilling Games area, a water park, a Musical Fountain Stage, and Restaurants… and become an ideal destination for local people and tourists with visiting, camping, entertainment, etc.

1.2. Why Thuy Tien Lake is closed?

Thuy Tien Lake is closed in 2011. There are several factors that lead to closing, but the most remarkable reason is low efficiency, and decreasing profit. Some people supposed that: because when Thuy Tien Lake was opened to the public, many constructions had not been completed yet, only half to two-thirds plan, this idea probably contributed to its death.

1.3. What is Thuy Tien Lake now?

Although not working anymore, this place is such a great attraction for taking photos even wedding photos because of its fabulous landscapes. Enter into the entrance around 50 meters. If you turn right, you will go to the Musical Fountain Stage. If you turn left, and walk about 150 meters, from far away, you can see a giant dragon on the lake, turning his head back to the mountains and its reflection on the beautiful lake makes the Water park become fabulous and mysterious.

There are many ways to become “the real photographer”. At Thuy Tien abandoned water park, there are a lot of scenes and views for you to get excellent photos following different styles such as Classic, outdoor, horror, etc. Going up to the head of the Dragon, inside the dragon’s body you will see the frame of huge dragon bones.

Getting to the dragon mouth is a good idea to get the best panoramic view. Exploring Thuy Tien lake is an interesting activity besides visiting the historical sites in Hue. As mentioned by the magazine Huffington Post, a lot of tourists are curious to come here to explore what makes this place so mysterious.

Maybe from then till now, no one invested to rebuild or plan a new project. Over time, with humidity, and the weather condition in Hue, everything inside Abandoned Water Park was rusted. It has become more creepy and thrilling. There is a lot of broken glass and a broken wall on the floor. The Aquarium is dark, and some places are covered by moss. Other places are similar, with lots of garbage, dried-tree, and moss. The aquarium where crocodile lives, now it is pretty dirty, and no crocodiles anymore.

Walking a bit further, you will get to the three remaining water slides that rise through creeping woods, and the specter of abandoned crocodiles once still alive somewhere in the lake visiting the backpackers.
