The Hang Dau water tower is located at the junction of some old streets and has classic and sophisticated European architecture. (Photo: VNA)Entrance to the site is free but the number of visitors for a certain duration of time is limited due to the narrow space inside the tower, which was built in 1894 and remained in operation until 1960.
Located at the junction of the old streets of Hang Than, Hang Luoc, Hang Giay, Hang Dau, Quan Thanh and Phan Dinh Phung, the 25m-high water tower, which is likened to the "Roman Colosseum", has classic and sophisticated European architecture.
To this day, it still retains the characteristic architecture of the period and is considered a vestige of old Hanoi.
It has been transformed into an art space with two key installation systems. The sound installation represents the sound of water in nature and the light installation expands the visual image of artifacts recycled from urban waste.
