Awesome and Unusual Places to Visit in Vietnam
Am Phu Cave
Ready to get weird or even a bit claustrophobic. Let’s start with this name of the destination, which translates to English as hell. Adorned with local figurines, altars, and statues it fits its name well.
You’ll feel like you’re walking in two dimensions. One, being Heaven with the gorgeous Marble Mountains backdrop. The other, being the caves of hell.
Finish your adventure with the strenuous Stairway to Heaven and Road to Paradise.
Location: Ngu Hanh Son, Da Nang, Vietnam
Ho Thuy Tien Park
Why visit a bustling water park when you can visit a creepy, deserted one?
Back in its heyday, this park was a premiere entertainment destination with slides, animal exhibits, and guaranteed fun.
Today, it’s just an abandoned and eerie scene with deteriorating slides, unkempt grounds, and an overall “creepy” vibe. We consider it one of the weirdest places to visit in Vietnam.

Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum
