Hang Dau Water Tank

Hang Dau Water Tank


街中に突然現れる、フランス植民地時代の給水塔。現在は廃墟となっているが、当時の実用本位の建築が大スパンアーチの三段構成でローマ時代の遺跡のようにも見え、美しい。

Suddenly the French colonial period’s water supply tower appeared.
There are large span arches in three layers which were just for practical architectural purpose at that time. It is ruined now, but it looks like the remains of the Roman times. That’s awesome.
