Discover the Serenity of Tháp Bằng An: A Hidden Hindu Temple Gem

Getting There

• Bicycle

  Start at the Hoi An Ancient Town area, where you can rent a bicycle from one of the local shops. Once you have your bike, head east on Nguyễn Thái Học Street towards the river. Cross the bridge over the Thu Bồn River. After crossing, continue straight onto Trần Nhân Tông Street. Follow this road until you reach the intersection with Quốc lộ 1A. Turn right onto Quốc lộ 1A and continue north for about 5 km. Look for signs pointing to Tháp Bằng An on your left, which is located in Điện An, Điện Bàn. The temple is set back from the road, so keep an eye out for the entrance.

• Motorbike Taxi

  From your location in Hoi An, you can easily book a motorbike taxi using local apps like Grab. Enter 'Tháp Bằng An' or the address 'V6MM+R7X, Điện An, Điện Bàn, Quảng Nam, Vietnam' as your destination. The ride should take approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic. Make sure to confirm with your driver that they know the location, as it is situated in a less touristy area.

• Walking

  If you prefer walking, start from Hoi An Ancient Town and walk southeast towards the Thu Bồn River. Follow the river until you reach the bridge. Cross the bridge and continue on Trần Nhân Tông Street until you reach the intersection with Quốc lộ 1A. From there, it's about 5 km to walk on the side of the highway. Although walking this distance can be quite long, you can enjoy the countryside scenery along the way. Be cautious of traffic as you walk along the road.
