Tam Thang Tower is one of the outstanding architectural works in Vung Tau, located at the intersection of Thuy Van and Le Hong Phong streets, right in the Bai Sau Park. With this prime location, the tower is not only an architectural highlight but also an ideal place for tourists to visit and take photos.
The project is built on a land area of over 16,700 m² along Thuy Van Street and two land areas on both sides of Le Hong Phong Street, with a total area of about 23,400 m². The tower consists of 143 reinforced concrete pillars, from 4.55 m to over 34.25 m high, arranged in increasing height towards the sea, forming the image of three boats going out to sea. The project is inspired by the three ancient villages of Thang Nhat, Thang Nhi and Thang Tam - the origin of the formation of Vung Tau urban area, associated with the task of protecting the sea and islands since the time of King Gia Long.
A special feature of Tam Thang Tower is its unique lighting system. The pillars are covered with mosaic tiles, creating a shimmering light effect when the sun shines during the day and shining under the lights at night. At night, the tower becomes a "forest of light", attracting many tourists to visit and take pictures.
The tower is not only an emerging check-in spot but also contributes to enriching the Vung Tau tourism experience, complementing long-standing symbols such as the statue of Christ or Nui Nho lighthouse.
