It's a kitsch family park, there's a water park too, places to eat, an Ice Lantern, a Dinosaur Land, odd statues, orchids, a monorail, very tacky topiary, and a big lake in the middle.
An interesting use of crockery, in the UK this would be smashed to pieces within minutes of it being installed.
This was taken in the garden area outside one of the floating restaurants (also a dragon made out of plates and spoons). Dam Sen is a popular place for weddings and pre-wedding pictures. In Vietnam the official pictures are taken before the day of the wedding and often in several outfits.
Speaking of weddings, I spotted these being prepared at the tradesman's entrance to the restaurant.
No steak pie and prawn cocktail here.
Aside from spying on other people's wedding preparations other attractions include the Ice Palace. A giant freezer full of replicas of famous buildings rendered in ice and illuminated from within. Visitors are provided with puffa jackets to keep out the cold and they're sorely needed. It took ten minutes for my camera to return to outside temperature and the condensation to clear from it.
The Great Wall of China I think, followed by the Taj Mahal.
And here's Santa atop the Ice Lantern centre wearing one of the orange puffa jackets.
Topiary is ever popular.
And dragons made out of little glass bottles filled with green water.
And unidentifiable concrete animals pulling carriages.
We're going back at night, they light everything up.
I just heard it was minus 7 in Edinburgh last night. I'm putting on the sunblock and going out to take more Christmas pictures.
