1
Happy Halloween everyone!
2
If you're looking for an activity to do in Vietnam, especially in Đà Lạt, you need to go to Crazy House.
3
One thing you need to know is that the Crazy House is basically a giant maze.
4
It's like Mother Nature decided to become an architect after watching too many Tim Burton movies.
5
For instance, just look at this staircase.
6
Who designed this?
7
We'll find out later in this video.
8
I feel like if someone have acrophobia or crossphobia will be afraid of this.
9
It is so steep and so narrow.
10
Honestly, the architecture is impressive.
11
Some pathways are incredibly narrow.
12
And the higher you climb, the more beautiful the views of Dalat become.
13
So why is this place so special?
14
This house is all about twisted trees,
15
creepy tunnels, and honestly, I feel like I've entered a fairy tale written by someone who had way too much Vietnamese coffee.
16
First of all, this is definitely not your typical Vietnamese house, although it was inspired by the traditional communal longhouse called Nhà
17
Rồng from the ethnic minority groups in the central highlands of Vietnam.
18
And the craziest part, you can actually sleep here.
19
I don't know about you, but if I wake up at 3am and see this giant tiger staring at me, I'm checking out immediately.
20
Would you dare to spend Halloween night here?
21
Let me know in the comments below.
22
Construction started in 1990 with a design inspired by nature and the idea of bringing people closer to it.
23
That's why you'll see giant tree trunks, tiny caves, and the hotel rooms are inspired by different animals,
24
including bears, eagles, and even kangaroos.
25
And don't expect a typical five -star hotel experience.
26
These rooms are designed to be environmentally friendly, so you won't find televisions or air conditioning.
27
But honestly, with Dalat's cool weather, you don't really need air conditioning.
28
This place was designed by a Vietnamese architect named Đăng Việt Nga, who studied architecture in Moscow.
29
And here's an interesting fact.
30
Her father was Trung Chinh, one of Vietnam's most prominent political leaders.
31
Did you know this place was once threatened with demolition?
32
When Đăng Việt Nga started building the crazy house, not everyone appreciated her vision.
33
The neighbors didn't like the spiderweb designs because they symbolize something old and neglected.
34
The government didn't approve it at first because it's a little too crazy.
35
But despite the criticism and difficulties, she kept pursuing her vision. And today,
36
the Crazy House is one of Dallas most recognizable tourist attractions
37
and Miss Nga even invites people to take dance classes in her aquarium area.
38
Here are some local tips before you visit this place.
39
First, come early in the morning, ideally around 8 .30 or 9 .00am before it gets too crowded.
40
Second, give yourself at least an hour to explore.
41
There are so many unusual corners that you'll probably spend half your time taking photos.
42
Third, bring a light waterproof jacket and wear comfortable shoes with good grip because Dalat can get chilly and slippery with the rain.
43
And finally, you don't need to spend the night here.
44
You can buy a sightseeing ticket, which is currently around 80 ,000 VNĐ.
45
But what I love the most is that behind all these strange staircases and weird -looking rooms, there's actually a beautiful story about creativity,
46
imagination, and having the courage to be different.
47
Is this house a masterpiece or is it completely crazy?
48
And would you dare to spend Halloween night here?
49
Let me know in the comments.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
