Vietnam has the only waterslide park in the world devoted
to Buddhism. Here, sacred animals like dragons and unicorns take center stage,
and golden monkeys make mischief with visitors as they take pictures and
selfies.
Suoi Tien Cultural Theme Park is a Vietnamese
water-filled fantasy land, located 15 kilometers south of Ho Chi Minh City.
Suoi Tien is the world's first water park devoted to Buddhism, specifically the
Southeast Asian animistic form of Buddhism. Take the children to visit the
sacred animals in the form of the dragon, unicorn, tortoise, and phoenix used
thematically throughout the massive water park.
The park is located rather unromantically next to a rubbish
dump, but denying the location, Suoi Tien is known as "the fairy stream.”
The animism works well for the theme park; instead of Mickey and Daffy, Suoi
Tien has chosen the dragon, unicorn, tortoise, and phoenix as its sacred
animals, used thematically throughout the huge water park. Furthermore, workers
in golden monkey outfits roam the park taking pictures with visitors and
causing "mischief."
Street vendors, water buffalos, mopeds buzzing around and
floating markets are a visitor’s first experiences when visiting such a
naturally rich and cultural destination as Vietnam. From the temples of Hanoi
and the islands of Halong Bay to the beaches of Nha Trang and the palaces of
Hue, it is a country now firmly etched in the travel psyche. The second largest
coffee production destination in the world, Vietnam is ideal for the caffeine
addicts. A cashew nut heaven, full of exotic foods and fruits, one may come
across a Vietnamese speciality ruou ran, a rice wine with a pickled snake in it
that is said to cure all illnesses. Vietnamese food is a blend of Chinese and
Thai styles and is considered one of the healthiest cuisines in the world.
Explore the cities, explore the people, and discover a whole world of new and
old cultures that make Vietnam such an iconic destination to visit.
