KING'S KNIGHT (CÔT CO)
Towers to visit
Read moreAlso known as the Flag Mound (Ky-dai), the King's Rider Tower (this is a military architectural term) was built in 1809. It was on this imposing 17-meter high building that the flag of the National Liberation Front was flown in the aftermath of the Tet offensive in 1968. The Viet Cong, after having seized the city, carried out a real revolutionary purge, massacring more than 2,500 inhabitants. Today, the vast esplanade is used by soccer fans or as a flying field for kites.
