Built between the 7th and 12th centuries, Po Nagar Cham Tower is a Hindu religious building located 2 km north of Nha Trang, on the left bank of the river. Looking down from the hill, you can enjoy the view of the blue harbor. Each tower is a small temple, and you must take off your shoes when you enter the temple, and you need a special dress. There is a free dress next to the temple. In any case, I feel that it is critical to respect local customs. In recent years, there have been more and more people traveling to Nha Trang in China. If someone does not take off their shoes, they will leave a bad impression on the locals. The architecture of is extremely characteristic. It is said that as early as the 2nd century BC, Hindus built a temple here to worship the Shiva gods. Later, the Kingdom of Poetry built it into a temple dedicated to the goddess of heaven. There are only four temples left, the largest of which is dedicated to the goddess Cham, the mother of the Cham Kingdom who ruled Nha Trang in ancient times. The Hindus called the goddess of the sun, the embodiment of the Hindu Siva. Vietnamese Buddhists call her the goddess of heaven. The goddess of heaven is the goddess of the southern part of the kingdom of Champo. The goddess of heaven is similar to the mother of the southeast coast of China. Because there are many fishermen here, it has become the goddess of the fishermen. All the pagodas are brick red, with beautiful reliefs, different shapes and different sizes. This is a very sacred place for the Vietnamese people. If someone climbs the temple, if the staff sees it, it will definitely Stop, so please don't take a few photos to climb the temple, and don't wear shoes to take photos at the door of the temple.
