Ho Quyen Tiger Arena
Ho Quyen, Hue Overview
Flaunting well-preserved ruins, Ho Quyen is an ancient fighting arena that hosts battles between tigers and elephants. Built in 1830, the stone walls retain tiger teeth and claw marks even today, though Ho Quyen has remained closed since 1904.
In old Vietnam, tigers were feared beasts, while elephants were deemed noble. In these rigged fights, elephants with the upper hand fought gladiator style for the Minh Mang royal family and high-ranking spectators.
