Hằng Nga Guesthouse



It is more often referred to as the Crazy House. Originally built as a personal project by architect Dang Viet Nga, it is inspired by the natural landscape surrounding Da Lat--also very heavily influenced by Gaudi. It was opened to the public in 1990, but there are areas that are still under construction.

It was a really cool place with lots of tiny, tiny walkways between structures. It sits on a hilltop and is pretty tall, so there were also some excellent views out over Da Lat.

You can stay in the Crazy House, which seems like it would be really cool when the gates close at 19:00. During the day, though, the bombardment of busloads of Russian tourists trying to peek in your windows would likely be tiring. As long as you are comfortable being out twelve hours of the day, probably very neat.

This will be mostly a picture post--it is a stunning place, but there is not a whole lot to write about it.
