Bao Thap Tower rises up from the side of Bao Son, the Tallest Man-Made Mountain Range in Vietnam
A private Amusement Park graces Vietnamese Culture and History with its Man-Made Marvels
Situated in Thu Dau Mot District in the Southern Province of Binh Duong
Dai Nam Park is 45 km from downtown Ho Chi Minh City
Launched in 1999, the Ist Phase of the US$171 million project has been completed to create a vast Temple
with adjacent Hotel, an open Zoo, an Amusement Park, a Water Park with Machine-Made Waves
and an imposing set of Mountain Peaks
Dai Nam opened to the public on 11th September, last year
After complition of 2nd Face in 2010
Dai Nam will be the Biggest Theme Park in Vietnam
many times the size of its nearest rival, the 55- hectare Suoi Tien Park in HCMC
The 450-hectare Amusement Park is still under construction
Excavators and Bulldozers are still digging and flattening the ground in places
but nearly all the roads are finished and the Free Trams are carrying Visitors around the Park
Inside the Temple is a central chamber with gilded statues of the Buddha
It's not a Museum, it is a Theme Park in Vietnam - 'Buddhist Theme Park'
It was a little like Pirates of the Carribean
only incredibly lame, tech-wise
Rides and Stuff, plus this Animatronic Display of the 12 Torments of Hell
for those people who'd committed particular Crimes
There was one Specific Punishment for Gamblers
one for Adulterers, another for Drug-Takers
It is kind of Amusing how different members of the family
If you're ever in Saigon, you have to visit, it's truly strange
The park has a website where you can watch short MPEG movies
of attractions including the Hell Exhibit
The whole Park is surreal check out the wicked cool photos these gigantic swimming pools
with faux-stone monuments of Gods watching over
