Yang Prong Cham Tower

Location: Yang Prong Cham Tower is in Ea Roc Commune, Ea Sup District, about 100km from Buon Ma Thuot City.

Characteristics: The tower is 9m high, its square base measures 5m each side. Each face of the tower has three masqueraded doors. There is only one door opened to the east. The roof is made of brick heaped upwards the top.

Lying by the Ea H’leo River, the tower is an architectural structure of reddish baked bricks, with its top as a flower’s bud. The local E De, M’Nong, Gia Rai natives call tower Yang Prong, means "Great God". Legend has it that at this jungle, a pregnant woman was going to be in labour and her husband went to invite the midwife. When the midwife started her task, she suddenly heard the sound of a flute-kite, which made her forget her duty. When looking back, she found the woman and her baby dead. Grieved at the death of his wife, the husband got angry and beheaded the midwife. The three people were fossilized. The natives called the woman and the baby Yang Prong, the midwife Yang Moi. It is said that the root at the tower’s door was what the woman held when giving birth to her baby. Documents proved that the tower was built by King Sinhavarman III (aka King Che Man, husband of Princess Huyen Tran) in the 13th century. The tower is dedicated to Mukhalinga (symbols of fecundity), in a wish for people’s happiness, multiplied -human race, and prosperity.

Few people know about its presence here. On August 3rd, 1991 the Ministry of Culture and Information issued a decision recognizing Yang Prong Cham Tower as an ancient architectural site under the management of the government.
