Phan Thiet Water Tower

Phan Thiet water tower located on the Ca Ty river was built nearly 90 years ago, designed by Prince Xuphanuvong (Laos), and is currently a symbol of Binh Thuan province. Phan Thiet Water Tower (also known as "Water Tower") was built by the French from 1928-1934 according to the urban planning policy of the contemporary government, serving to provide domestic water for the French Legation (now the headquarters of Binh Thuan People's Committee) and people in Phan Thiet city. The location for the water tower is located on the land of Long Khe village, on the left bank of the Ca Ty river, high and airy, about 350 meters from the Legation Palace. The design of the water tower was drawn by Prince Xuphanuvong (Laos, who was then an international student at Albert Sarraut School in Vietnam), approved by the Hanoi Department of Public Works and the project was put out for bidding. Among two French contractors and two Vietnamese contractors, contractor Ung Du (originally from Hue, working in Binh Thuan) won the bid. The water tower is built in a regular octagonal cylinder. The height from the base to the top of the tower is 32 m. The whole is divided into 3 parts, including: the tower body, the platform and the roof. The tower's body has an octagonal cylindrical shape, each side is 3.9 m wide, the higher it goes, the smaller it becomes. The diameter of the tower's base is 9 m long, the circumference is 31.2 m, and the floor area is 73.4 m2. Along the edges of the tower's body, from top to bottom, there are 5 ventilation boxes decorated with seal patterns corresponding to the 5 words: "Happiness", "Phuc", "Tho", "Kiet", "Loc" . The meaning is to wish all people joy, happiness, longevity, prosperity and prosperity. Particularly, the west side of the ventilation box with the word "Loc" is replaced by an iron door entering and exiting the tower. The platform, that is, the water tank, is also designed in an octagonal shape, 5 m high, 9 m in diameter, containing 350 m3 of water. Around the platform, there are 8 circles embossed with pieces of porcelain stylized with the four letters U.E.P.T, which stands for the French phrase "Usine des Eaux de Phan Thiet" (meaning Phan Thiet Water Plant). With its high architectural features, the building is also used as a flagpole. Master Nguyen Chi Phu, Deputy Director of Binh Thuan Provincial Museum, said that during the construction process, experts and workers strictly followed the technical design. Gravel must be washed 5 times to remove sand and dust. Foundry sand must also be washed 3 times to remove dirt. Cast iron must be rubbed with sandpaper to remove rust. Boards used for formwork must be planed smooth so that when removed, there is no need to add any additional plaster. Thanks to that, the project is sturdy and durable until today. After nearly 90 years of existence, even in the face of war bombs and harsh environments, especially through two historic floods in the years of Nham Thin (1952) and Quy Dau (1993), the water tower still stands majestically in the heart of the city. The city, becoming a sacred symbol, entered the poetry and music of the coastal land of Phan Thiet. On October 19, 2018, Phan Thiet water tower was decided to rank as a provincial monument by the Binh Thuan People's Committee. Source: Phan Thiet Tourism

From the years 1835-1836, Zen master Bao Tang came to Binh Thanh to establish Co Thach Pagoda and stayed here for five years. After that, the Zen master entrusted the pagoda to his disciples to take care of. He continued to travel alone to the South of the country and stopped in the Southeast region (Dong Nai and Ba Ria - Vung Tau). Initially, the pagoda was just a small hut with plank walls and thatched roofing. Through many restorations and embellishments, during the Thieu Tri period, the pagoda was built to be large in both space and art and remains almost intact to this day. .

The temple follows an ancient architectural style so it is decorated with many eye-catching colors. Because the terrain is a high rocky mountain, each path of the temple has gentle steps up and down along the slope. Right at the foot of the pagoda is a vast ocean, creating a charming landscape. Co Thach Pagoda is located on a rocky mountain complex, so it also has many special caves. Taking advantage of this terrain, Zen masters used them as places of worship. Each cave in Co Thach Pagoda worships a Buddha, Bodhisattva or a monk who has passed away. Here, there is a cave of the Patriarch - the person who built this pagoda. Outside the statue worshiping the Patriarch, there are also tablets with merits in building the pagoda. Next to that is the cave worshiping Buddha Mau Chuan De. In this cave there is an 8-armed Buddha statue and many other ancient statues. In Tam Bao cave, Zen masters used to worship 23 ancient Buddha statues of many different sizes and ages. On the 25th day of the 5th lunar month every year will be the death anniversary of Co Thach Pagoda. This is the day for monks, nuns, and Buddhists here to remember the great gratitude of Zen Master Bao Tang - who had great contributions in building the pagoda that day. Source: Online Buddhism

Po Sah Inu Cham Tower

Po Sah Inu is one of three groups of Cham temples and towers belonging to the Hoa Lai artistic architectural style, dating as early as the early 8th to 9th centuries. The group of towers is located on a hill formerly known as Ba Nai hill in Ngoc Lam village, Phu Hai ward (formerly Pho Hai), Phan Thiet city. Next to tower B in the group of towers there is an ancient pagoda, Buu Son pagoda, built in the late 19th century. At the foot of the hill is the sea, to the west of the hill is the surrounding Cai River flowing into the sea. The Po Sah Inu temple tower group has 3 towers including: Main Tower (Tower A), Tower worshiping the Fire God (Tower C) and Tower B worshiping the sacred cow Nandin (still in existence at the end of the 19th century, then lost). This is the only group of temples and towers built on high hills near the sea in the Hoa Lai artistic architectural style of Champa culture, while all other towers are located on high hills or plains far from the sea. . The Main Tower worships the god Siva, inside the tower there is still a Linga - Yoni altar, a symbol of the god, dating from the same time as the tower until now. From the 19th - 20th centuries, many people often called it Pho Hai tower, coinciding with the place name here. From about the 20th century onwards, the Cham people called the tower Po Sah Inu, the name of the princess, biological sister of King Podam and both children of Cham king ParaChanh, whom Vietnamese history called La Khai. After Po Sah Inu passed away, the Cham royal family built a temple to worship her in the grounds of Pho Hai tower. Thus, there was a period when this group of temples and towers existed with two names: Pho Hai and Po Sah Inu. The Main Tower is the largest and tallest tower in the group. The tower is 16m high; There are 3 floors in total, the two upper floors have the same architecture as the lower floor but gradually reduce in size as well as architectural and artistic details. Just like that, gradually getting smaller and soaring to the top along with the tower roof. Halfway up the tower's roof there are 4 vents in 4 directions, to ventilate and exhaust hot air inside the tower, partly creating balance between inside and outside, harmony between gods and heaven and earth. This is the spiritual highlight when dignitaries perform rituals and they believe that the gods from above come back this way. The Main Tower is also a place where the values ​​of physical and mental architecture as well as spirituality and religious beliefs are concentrated. Tower B: The tower is 12m high, has 3 floors like tower A but smaller. Inside the tower worships the sacred cow Nandin, which local people still saw from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, and then no longer saw it. During archaeological excavations from 1991 to 1995, some pieces and feet of the sacred cow Nandin were found. In front of the tower there is a large ceremony yard, currently used to set up a theater during the Kate ceremony. Tower C: Due to its original function of worshiping the Fire God, the architecture has only 1 floor including the base, body and top of the tower, the tower has a height of 5m; The width of each side is nearly 4m. Traces of collapse show that hundreds of years ago until the 80s of the 20th century, the top and roof of the tower collapsed along with the base of the tower rotting deep inside the tower body. After the renovation was completed, the tower's function was reused, but mainly as a place for people to leave offerings before entering the main tower for ceremonies. All three towers in the Po Sah Inu group have been renovated and embellished many times to have the current architectural shape and cultural space. From before until the first half of the 20th century, Cham people often performed many rituals here. Since 2005, the Kate festival has been restored with all the original processes of space, time, form, content and value as before. From the time it was restored until now and forever after, the Kate festival is held regularly every year to join the ancient Po Sah Inu tower in creating a destination to attract tourists and create momentum for tourism development.

Po Dam Tower

Po Dam Tower in Lac Tri village, Phu Lac commune, Tuy Phong district, Binh Thuan province, is one of the oldest tower clusters of Champa architecture. Po Dam Tower (pronounced Po Tam) was built to worship King Po Dam, also known as Po Kathit (Ban La Tra Duyet) of the Cham people. The Po Dam tower cluster has a very strange structure and layout, it must be said to be the strangest compared to other tower clusters of Champa architecture. The Po Dam tower complex was ranked by the State as a national historical, cultural, architectural and artistic relic in 1996. Instead of being built on top of a hill or on flat land like many other tower clusters, Po Dam tower is located on the side of a hill. The Cham people call it Co Gada, and the Vietnamese in the area call it Ong Xiem hill. Of the 6 towers found, only the South tower (as named by French archaeologist Parmentier) has the main door facing east, towards the rising sun like most Cham towers, the remaining 5 towers in the tower cluster. Po Dam all face South, slightly West. Some researchers explain that the tower door facing that way is to commemorate ancestors, while the south direction is to the other world, the underworld. Anyway, these are two rare phenomena in the history of Cham tower architecture. Po Dam Tower is a cluster of towers built in the 8th century, the same age as Hoa Lai Tower in Ninh Thuan. Over 12 centuries of turbulence, coupled with a rather "unsettled" architectural position, the tower was quite dilapidated. In addition to the two towers on the North axis, which collapsed completely leaving behind only the linga, the remaining 4 towers on the South axis, none of the towers remained intact. Therefore, Binh Thuan province has a plan to reinforce, restore and renovate. In addition to the precious antiques found that the newspapers have reported, such as: pieces of ancient tiles with strange shapes, a set of stone grinding tables (called Rathung patau by the Cham people), two bronze mata rings, a bell small bronze, 1 iron ax, 1 copper-printed rattle, under the North tower shaft, people also found a yellow bowl (pata - patil) (possibly made of bronze or gold) and especially a skeleton that could is the remains that legend says belongs to the king's mother, Po Bia Than. Her grave - like that of Bia Than Cih in Po Rome Tower in Ninh Thuan - was later covered. In the south of the South axis tower, after excavation, the entire base with important relics is also visible. Po Dam Tower is one of the oldest and most strangely structured tower clusters in ancient Champa architecture in the southernmost region of this kingdom. Moreover, it is a cluster of living towers, meaning they are worshiped and worshiped every year by the Cham community in the area. Archaeological excavation is necessary to discover traces that corroborate history and collect artifacts to enrich the country's museums. But what is more necessary is how to restore the tower without damage and especially without being mixed, keeping the sacred part of the tower as its true Cham tower. Source: Binh Thuan Tourism

Returning to the story of Van Thuy Tu palace, according to ancient documents, this palace was established in the year of Nham Ngo (1762) to worship the Ong fish. At first, the palace was just a wooden house with a thatched roof, then it was gradually renovated with brick walls and a yin-yang tiled roof with a total area of ​​about more than 500 square meters.
