Do Son tourist area, Hai Phong is famous for its ideal beaches and charming scenery. But few people know that on top of Long Son (Ngoc Xuyen ward), the first of nine mountains running along Do Son peninsula, there is also a cultural and historical relic thousands of years old - Tuong Long tower. Tuong Long Tower (also known as Do Son Tower) was built during the reign of Ly Thanh Tong. This Buddhist architectural work was built on a land area of about 2,000 m2, located in Van Son ward, Do Son town. The four corners of the tower all lean to the center at 190 degrees. The inside of the tower is hollow and is where the Amitabha statue is placed. The building is built of bricks and stones of different sizes. In addition to bricks, there are also bricks covering the outside of the tower shell with unique decorative arts such as lotus flowers, chrysanthemums, and lemon flowers. This decoration represents typical Ly Dynasty art. According to the book "Dai Viet History", in the year Mau Tuat 1058, King Ly Thanh Tong, after traveling across Ba Lo beach, stopped here to build a tower. Later, he dreamed of a golden dragon and gave the tower the name Tuong Long, meaning "Seeing the golden dragon appear" to remember the good omen. Some people believe that Do Son seaport is one of the cradles that received the tower here to worship Buddha. In the past, this place may have been an observatory in the "transmitting light" system. Whenever there is an incident, coastal observation stations burn dry grass to send smoke into the sky, transmitting alarm signals to the capital. Through the remaining relics, it can be seen that Tuong Long tower was built at the same time as Bao Thien tower in Thang Long citadel (now the Hanoi Opera House area). According to Dai Nam Nhat Thong Chi", the old Do Son tower is 100 meters high, built on a 1000m2 area of land, has 9 floors, the door opens to the west. One meter is 0.45m long, so the tower is about 0.45m high. , located on a mountain 100m above the sea, so this tower was among the tallest towers in Vietnam at that time. Tuong Long Tower was renovated and restored many times during the Tran and dynasties Le, but in the 3rd year of Gia Long (1804), the Nguyen court demolished the tower to get bricks to build Hai Duong citadel. This proves that the ancient Tuong Long tower was extremely large and majestic. From the location of Tuong tower Long can see the sea with ships going out to sea to catch fish to bring back fresh seafood to serve tourists, see Do Son town with villages and green fields, and understand the ancients. Carefully choose the location to build the tower. SOURCE: Hai Phong City Electronic Information Portal
