Built in the 1990s by Đặng Việt Nga, the daughter of the second President of Viet Nam, this mansion has a unique, almost gothic, and crazily interesting style. I highly recommend you to visit this place and explore each corners of this huge mansion. It almost feels like a maze. Ticket required. No tourguide needed
