Vietnam’s Aqua Park, also known as Ho Thuy Tien Water Park, is a ghostly water world that looks more like a lost kingdom from an ancient myth than a modern amusement park. Opened in 2004, the park was meant to be a grand water paradise, but for reasons never fully disclosed, it was abandoned before construction was even completed. Now, all that remains are its eerie, half-finished attractions, taken over by nature and local folklore. The most striking and now-infamous feature of Aqua Park is the massive dragon sculpture, which was once meant to be the park’s centerpiece. Towering over a now-murky lake, the weathered and moss-covered dragon looks more menacing than magical, its once-vibrant paint now faded into ghostly tones. Urban explorers brave enough to venture inside the dragon’s gaping, toothy mouth will find dark, winding corridors covered in graffiti and stairs leading up to the dragon’s head, where shattered glass windows still offer haunting views of the overgrown park below. Elsewhere, decaying waterslides sit dry and cracked, their twisting paths leading nowhere. The once-inviting lazy river is now a murky, algae-covered swamp, where frogs and insects thrive instead of tourists. Despite its eerie state, Ho Thuy Tien has become a magnet for photographers, thrill-seekers, and curious visitors, drawn to the surreal blend of artificial attractions and creeping natural decay. Some locals even claim the park is haunted, with whispers of strange apparitions and an eerie, unsettling presence after dark.
