Located at Nghinh Phong Square at the intersection of Nguyen Huu Tho and Doc Lap in Tuy Hoa City, Nghinh Phong Tower has a particularly impressive design. Inspired by the Ghenh Da Dia (The Cliff of Stone Plates), which has considered as symbol of the locality, and the legend of the “one hundred eggs and one hundred children” of Lac Father Lac Long Quan and Mother Au Co, the tower has two parts.

There are two tall stone columns in the middle of the tower, including one with a height of 35m representing Lac Long Quan and another 30 metres tall representing Au Co.

Fifty stone blocks are stacked on top of each other at each bottom of the tower. The wall between the two stone columns is decorated with reliefs of the land of “yellow flowers and green grass” in the locality.

The space between the two high stone columns is just enough for two people to stand. Visitors can hear a special unique natural music piece “written” by the wind blowing through the gaps.
