The oldest tiger arena in vietnam in Hue
Built in 1830 (the year of Minh Mang 11), the arena serves the purpose of organizing fights between elephants and tigers. This was an open-loop construction with monumental architecture at that time.
The inner ring is 5.9 m high; outer ring 4.75 m high. The perimeter of the outside wall of Ho Quyen is 145 m, the diameter of the basin is 44 m. Construction materials are made of mallet bricks, slats and fine mortar.
The seat of the king sitting on the North side was built higher than the surrounding positions and loosened behind creating a relatively large space. To the left of the stands is a 24-level ascending hierarchy for kings and lords. On the right is another hierarchy similarly built for officials and soldiers. From this stand looking across the opposite side, one can identify 5 tiger cages right in the heart of the arena. Door systems in tiger cages are wooden doors that open and close by pulling down the rope from above.

Inside the tiger cages, many scratches are on the walls. The ritual for organizing battles between elephants and tigers is very formal. The battle between elephants and tigers only takes place once a year but sometimes it takes several years to organize according to the preferences of each king. The kings Nguyen is the organizer, who is also the controller, and the audience is very enthusiastic cheering for the match until the tiger died.

According to history books, the matches were not only entertaining but also derived from the need to train statues, a very dangerous army of Dang Trong army and a big festival organized by the imperial court. encourage martial spirit among the people.
The last battle at Ho Quyen took place in 1904 under King Thanh Thai. Since then, the arena is no longer active and abandoned to this day.
