This is not only the only remaining tower architecture of the Oc-Eo culture in the Southwest, but during the excavation at Vinh Hung tower, archaeologists also collected many extremely valuable artifacts with many stone statues, bronze, ceramics, precious stones... marking a rather long period of existence and development (from the 4th century to the 13th century AD) of Vinh Hung ancient tower.
