As children, one of the things that appealed to us were tree houses. Perhaps this is the result of human anthropology or of the sense of adventure that kids have.
What's great though, it's that today you can experience staying in tree houses in many places as part of glamping experiences.
However, there is one place that is far more than just a tree house.
The concept
We are talking of course of the Hang Nga "Crazy House" located in the Vietnamese city of eternal springs: Dalat.

Hang Nga Villa or as it's more commonly known as "Crazy House" is the result of Dr. Dang Viet Nga's lifestyle and creativity.
In the Crazy House's website, the architect directly explains how since the industrial revolution as human we have destroyed nature far too much, paying the consequences.
With this in mind, the architect wanted to bring people back to nature, so that we can understand it and love it as it deserves to. The house started to being built in 1990 and has continued to be improved throughout the years. Today, it comprises different areas, all of which have their own individual charm and aesthetics.
