Poshanu Cham Towers

Once a hallmark of the prosperous Champa kingdom that thrived in this region from around the 7th century to 1832, the Poshanu Cham Towers from the late 8th to early 9th century are perched on a hilltop with views of Phan Thiet and the distant coastline. On site are three towers. Inside the main one is a linga and yoni monolith dedicated to Lord Shiva. The two other towers are devoted to the fire deity Agni and the buffalo deity Nandi. Dating from the 9th century, the Po Shanu Cham Towers is a complex consisting of the ruins of 3 towers, all of which are not in very good shape. Still, it makes for a nice little excursion out of Mui Ne. And because it sits on top of a hill near to Phan Thiet, you’ll get some very nice views of the town. There’s also an interesting sight of the cemetery just opposite the Cham Towers with their candy like tombstones. So it’s definitely worth a trip. Mui Ne’s Po Shanu Cham Towers is about 5 km out of Mui Ne, on the road towards Phan Thiet. Very easy for a DIY bike trip. First, we start from the Hai Au Resort (circled in red), or the Seagull Hotel, which is at the 18.2km mark or 32 Huynh Thuc Khang Street. From here, just ride straight up towards the direction of Phan Thiet Town.
