At the foot of the hills, in front of Nha Trang Bay are ancient towers, built around the tenth century. Once there were ten, but six were destroyed with time and there are only four.

23-meter North Tower (Thap Chin) with terraced pyramidal roof, with a brick inside the room and the lobby is a magnificent example of architecture tyamskoy. It was built in 817, the pyramidal main hall, 28 meters in height, is a black stone statue of the goddess Uma (in the form of Bhagavati) with 10 hands.

Central Tower (Thap us) was built partly of brick used in the XII century. on the site of a building dating back to the VII century. It is less beautiful than the other tower, and has a bit of jewelry; at its pyramidal roof terrace or no pilasters. Richly decorated with Northwest Tower (Thap Tay Bac) was originally dedicated to Ganesha. The roof of the tower, crowned by a pyramid-end, is not preserved.

On the hills behind the tower offers great views of the skyline and the surrounding area.
