History of Tram Huong Tower in Nha Trang
Aloeswood is dubbed the “king of woods” and is a highly valuable product of Khanh Hoa. Khanh Hoa aloeswood is closely associated with the history and culture of Champa, as the Cham people believe that the aura of the goddess Ponagar always emanates a fragrant aloeswood scent. Therefore, aloeswood has become one of the symbols of Nha Trang city.
After 1975, Khanh Hoa province (then known as Phu Khanh) built the Nha Trang Martyrs' Monument to commemorate the heroes. By 2004, the Nha Trang Martyrs' Monument was relocated to Hon Dung Martyrs' Cemetery (Nha Trang city), occupying the most beautiful location by the beach to build the “Sea Flower” project as a symbol for the city. However, this project was not completed, and the architecture of Tram Huong Tower was proposed as a replacement.
In 2006, Khanh Hoa province commenced the construction of Tram Huong Tower and inaugurated it after two years, becoming a favorite check-in spot for many travelers visiting Nha Trang.
The tower consists of 6 floors with distinct functions, mostly for displaying images, local products to promote the culture and boost Khanh Hoa tourism.
During the day, Tram Huong Tower resembles a aloeswood pen tower; while at night, its top shines like a true lighthouse beacon.
