Located approximately 7 kms east of Phan Thiet on top of the Ong Hoang Hill, the Po Sha Inu Towers built by the people of the Kingdom of Champa in the 8th century is a popular tourist attraction, alluring thousands of tourists today. If you want to witness the fascinating performances that take place here during the Tet holiday, it is recommended that you reserve a suitable resort in Mui Ne that would allow you easy access to the place. Anantara Mui Ne Resort & Spa is a preferred Vietnam hotel among many who visit the area during this period as it provides comfortable and convenient stay from which one can explore the region at ease. The Cham people known for their skills in sculpture and architecture are known to be of hindu origin and had their own unique style in building which can be very evidently seen in this monument today. The building reflects the architectural pattern of the Po Nagar temple complex of Kauthara in Nha Trang and is a 3 storey brick-built structure constructed on a square footing narrowing down as the building rises up. As Cham people believed that their Gods lived in the east, the main doors of the towers face the east inviting the deities within. Also recognized as a National Heritage by the Vietnamese Ministry of Cultural affairs, the elegant Po Sha Inu Towers are devoted to the fire deity who was a much venerated deity among the Chams.
