At 9am, the parking lot at the foot of the tower was already full. Music, the sound of the Ghinang drum, and the sound of the Saranai trumpet urged visitors to climb the tower.
Po Sah Inư Tower is a group of Cham temple towers remaining from the ancient Champa Kingdom. This group of towers has the Hoa Lai architectural style - one of the ancient art styles of Champa. Around the end of the 8th century and the beginning of the 9th century, the Cham people built this group of temples and towers to worship the god Shiva - one of the most revered and respected Hindu gods. In the 15th century, a number of temples with simple architecture were built to worship Princess Po Sha Inư, the daughter of King Para Chanh. The princess was talented, virtuous and well-mannered, so she was loved by the Cham people at that time. Although only small and medium in size, it distilled the quintessence of architectural techniques and decorative arts of the ancient Cham people, creating a majestic and mysterious look. The Po Sah Inư temple and tower group is one of the relatively intact Cham tower clusters.
Mr. Tran Duc Dung - Head of the Management Board of Po Sah Inư Tower Relics, under the Provincial Museum, said: Tourism awakens and revives cultural and artistic values. Taking advantage of that, on holidays and Tet, especially in the summer months, the Management Board of Po Sah Inư Tower Relics coordinates with the Cham folk art troupe to serve tourists, including performing popular songs and dances of the Cham ethnic group. In the spacious, airy space on the high hill is a harmonious combination of the ancient features and unique architecture of 3 connected towers combined with the music and high and low singing that has a magical attraction to hold anyone's feet.
During the week, the tower welcomes about 900 domestic and foreign visitors. On the weekends, it is more crowded, averaging 1,200 visitors per day. Thus, since the beginning of the year, this destination has welcomed nearly 75,000 visitors. Currently, the entrance fee is 15,000 VND for adults and only children from 6 to 12 years old are charged 7,000 VND/child.
Having visited Po Sah Inư Tower twice at different times, Ms. Minh Khoa (in Khanh Hoa ) has had new and meaningful experiences each time. “Bringing traditional folk art forms into tourist areas and spots is an interesting way. Although we had just traveled a long distance and walked a little further to reach the tower, we were truly relaxed and immersed in the intimate and bustling atmosphere. It was an unforgettable experience and I hope to have the opportunity to come back here many more times,” Ms. Khoa said.
Mr. Dang Trung Hoa - tour guide of New Tour Company Limited ( Ho Chi Minh City) shared: Po Sah Inư tower relic is a place that cannot be missed in the itinerary that the company wants to connect and introduce to customers when traveling to the Southeast region of Lam Dong province. This is the only group of towers built on a high hill near the sea in the Hoa Lai architectural style of the Champa culture, while all other towers are located on high hills or in plains far from the sea. Especially in the summer, the management board constantly builds and exploits the unique cultural values of traditional art, contributing to creating unique tourism products to attract visitors.
With the advantages of natural conditions and climate, not only the Po Sah Inư Tower relic but also other historical and cultural relic sites in the Southeast of the province, if invested in infrastructure and developed rich program content, will create many attractive tourism products and visitors will mention it as a place rich in identity.
