ABO/NDO- The Vietnam Records Organisation (Vietkings) held a ceremony on November 30 to award the Asian record certificate for the Than Nong Tower in Bac Ninh Province.

It is made of 1,012 stone mortars arranged around the outside, while the inside is framed by concrete pillars and a staircase, with the total weight of Than Nong Tower being about 130 tonnes.

The tower was built to honour Vietnam’s wet rice agriculture as well as the country’s traditional culture.

In May this year, the tower was recognised by VietKings as the largest rice grain-shaped tower in Vietnam.
