This was originally a Hindu temple built in several stages between the 7th and 12th centuries. Built on Cu Lao marble hill, 2kms north of Nha Trang, this is th elargest of the largest of the 4 remaining towers and was built in honour of Po Nagar. Also known as Lady Thien Y-ana or Goddess Mother, she spent part of her life teaching new weaving and agricultural techniques. The 225m tower contains her sandstone statue sitting cross-legged on Buddha's throne. The statue has 10 hands, each holding a specific object illustrating the intellect and power of Buddha.

Nha Trang offers excellent places for snorkelling and scuba diving. Some 70 islands and rocky shores are easily accessible with a boat. Depth is usually less than 20m, with little undercurrents. Up to 12m there are all kinds of corals, further it is sand and rocks. Coral fish shine in beautiful colours. Although due to over fishing don't expect large swarms of fish as it has reduced their numbers. Very little wrecks are there to be seen as metal and anything of value is salvaged quickley.
