Continue straight for about 1 kilometer until you reach the intersection with Nguyễn Huệ street. Turn left onto Nguyễn Huệ street and walk for about 500 meters. You will see the Phú Ninh Lake on your right. Continue walking along the lakeside until you reach the fork in the road near the lake. At this point, take the road that leads to Tam An (this should be a right turn). Follow this road for about 2 kilometers, and you will see the Chien Dan Cham Towers on your left just before the entrance to the Tam An area.

  Rent a bicycle from one of the local shops in Tam Ky. Start at the Tam Ky Central Market (Chợ Tam Kỳ) and head southwest on Trần Hưng Đạo street. After about 1 kilometer, turn left onto Nguyễn Huệ street. Continue down Nguyễn Huệ for approximately 500 meters until you reach the lakeside. Follow the lakeside road while enjoying the view for about 2 kilometers. Once you reach the fork in the road near Phú Ninh Lake, take the right fork towards Tam An. The Chien Dan Cham Towers will be on your left side shortly after entering Tam An.

• Motorbike Taxi (Xe ôm)

  From wherever you are in Tam Ky, find a motorbike taxi (xe ôm) by asking locals or using a ride-hailing app. Tell the driver you want to go to Chien Dan Cham Towers (Tháp Chăm Chiên Đàn). The driver will take you on a scenic route through the town. The trip should take about 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic. They will drop you off right at the entrance to the towers, which is located in Tam An, Phú Ninh District.
