REPORTING IN FULL
FORM
Last year during my stay in Nha Trang, I had a
brief tour to Ponagar Cham Towers, one of the most
beautiful examples of Cham architecture in central
Vietnam.
• The Ponagar Cham Towers consist of four towers.
They are located
on Cu Lao Marble Hill, two
Kilometers north of Nha Trang. They were built
between the 8th and 13th centuries. The remaining
towers were dedicated to different god. The largest
tower was built in honor of Lady Thien Y. The 22.5m
high tower contains her sandstone statue sitting on
Buddha’s throne. The 2.6m high statue has 10
hands, holding specific objects illustrating the
power of Buddha.
• The tour to Ponagar Cham Towers lasted 5
hours. I was rather tired, but the tour was
enjoyable, memorable and informative.
