Unbelievably Pricey Abandoned Structures

The Ho Thuy Tien Water Park was an extremely ambitious project designed to feature a variety of attractions, including rides, aquariums, restaurants, and live entertainment. Despite being incomplete, the park opened its doors to guests in 2004, generating excitement within the local community.
Although the water park was initially well-received, it faced significant financial difficulties that led to its closure just a few months after opening. The combination of high operational costs and economic challenges ultimately proved insurmountable.
Ho Thuy Tien Water Park has remained largely abandoned since its closure, leading locals to describe the absence of visitors as "surreal" and "eerie." The park's once-vibrant colors still hint at its potential, but the stagnant water in the rides creates a stark contrast, evoking a sense of decay.
Despite its abandoned state, Ho Thuy Tien has become a popular destination for urban explorers and photographers, largely due to the imposing dragon structure that dominates the landscape. This striking feature draws visitors who are curious about the park's history and its current, haunting beauty.
