What you need to know
The square is located at the intersection of the city's major thoroughfares (Nguyễn Tất Thành — Hùng Vương — Trần Huỳnh). Its appearance is shaped by several key structures:
Cao Văn Lầu Theater:
Vietnam's largest pavilion shaped like a traditional conical hat ("nón lá"). Dedicated to the pioneer of the "Đờn ca tài tử" genre, which is inscribed on the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list.
Stylized Cymbals:
An 18.6-meter sculpture of the "đàn kìm" musical instrument set on a lotus pedestal.
Symbol of Unity:
Three conical hat pavilions representing the Kinh (Viet), Khmer, and Chinese ethnic groups living in the province.
The area is equipped with a 68-jet LED musical fountain and free Wi-Fi, making it a popular spot for both tourists and locals.
The most favorable time for long evening walks and watching the fountain, thanks to the dry season.
