The Dong Dương Buddhist Monastery was a monumental 9th-century religious complex built by King Indravarman II for the ancient Champa Kingdom. Though the archaeological site itself is located just south in former Quang Nam Province, its most precious artifacts—including rare sandstone sculptures and the famous bronze Tara statue—are prominently preserved and displayed in Da Nang at the Museum of Cham Sculpture. This expansive monastic center remains one of Southeast Asia’s most significant examples of Mahayana Buddhist architecture and art.

How to Get to Dong Duong Buddhist Monastery
Bang An Tower is in Dien An ward, Dien Ban town, Quang Nam province. It’s 12 kilometers west of Hoi An city center.
From Hoi An, popular ways to go to Bang An Tower are getting a taxi/car/bus and riding the motorbike. No matter which one you choose, we recommend stopping here to visit, on the way to My Son Sanctuary (a much bigger complex of Cham towers, a Unesco world heritage site). For motorbike rides, the best route is the provincial road DT608. From anywhere in Hoi An, go to Hung Vuong Street and then follow it (westwards) towards Vinh Dien town. After cross Vinh Dien Bridge, follow Tran Quy Cap Street on the left and then go straight away until seeing Bang An Tower on the left hand side.
From Da Nang, the distance to Bang An Tower is some 30 kilometers. If go by car, the drive will be 45 to 60 minutes long. If riding the motorbike by your own, the quickest way to get to it is the Highway 1A (AH1). Just follow it towards Vinh Dien town. Before Vinh Dien Bridge, there is a road named Tran Quy Cap Street to the left. Go along it until seeing Phan Thanh Tai primary school. Bang An Tower lies on the left hand side.
