The Cham towers in Binh Dinh have given special concern in the past years. The Duong Long towers, for example, has been restored since late 2005 while Banh It tower was also proposed to be embellished after its restoration got stuck several years ago.

The Doi (twin) towers haven’t attracted more tourists after being restored. |
In addition, an excavation was carried out at Binh Lam tower in 2008 and the functional bodies are preparing essential steps to restore the tower. Alongside these, the restoration of Canh Tien tower was already finished and put in use.
The Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism also planned to coordinate with Vietnam History Museum to excavate Go Thap Mam, a relic in An Nhon district, aiming to seek more items for the study on Cham towers in Binh Dinh.
Upholding the value of Cham towers requires long-term strategy; however, there is now no detailed plan for the issue after the restoration. The Doi (twin) towers may serve as a typical example as they haven’t still attracted as many tourists as expected after the towers were embellished.
Similarly, the Canh Tien tower also sees little prospect as its surrounding areas show no attractive features. As for other towers, they are required to have distinctive features after being embellished.
The value of existing ancient items should also be given special concern as a measure to honor the Cham towers. However, most Cham objects are now stored at the provincial museum without specific purposes.
Reviving Cham towers thus sees an uncertain future.
