What to know
The tower was built between 1999 and 2001 and inaugurated in 2011. Standing about 37 meters tall, the structure features 7 floors and 8 roofs. One of the main highlights is the giant 5.7-ton bronze bell cast by artisans from Ngu Xa village.
A spiral staircase from the top of the tower offers an impressive panoramic view of the region's pine hills, villages, and agricultural fields. At night, the structure is dramatically illuminated by a system of 356 lights.
The dry period offers the most favorable weather conditions for exploring the historic complex. The rainy season (from July to December) can make visits difficult.
