Po Shanu Cham Towers 002

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.

(Note: Mui Ne has 2 system of naming the streets- the old way is to go by the road marks or milestones seen on the sides of the road, eg: 18.2km. The modern system of finding your location in Mui Ne is by the unit number followed by the street name, eg: 32 Huynh Thuc Khang Street).

4th Landmark is a petrol station (circled in red) on your right. Slow down from here because you’ll need to make a left turn at the roundabout. Some locals ignore the roundabout but I urge you to follow it. Watch out and be careful of vehicles coming from the opposite direction.
