The Shennong Tower is 15m high, divided into 5 floors. On top of the tower is a model of the Shennong constellation with 15 stars made of LED lights that glow in different colors at night. This is a unique destination, attracting visitors to Bac Ninh province, both creating a landscape and serving an experiential cultural education model.
Mr. Tran Van Toan, Chairman of the Board of Members of Dong Do Technical and Commercial Company Limited, said that as agricultural production becomes more and more modern, in many rural areas, many stone mortars, stone shafts, rice mills, etc. are discarded.

Through that, he wanted to preserve and conserve the culture of the countryside, of agricultural culture, and preserve the memories of a generation and a cultural and historical period of the Northern countryside.
This is the first stone mortar and rice culture exhibition area in Bac Ninh province, aiming at developing sustainable experience services, services and tourism, contributing to promoting the local socio-economy; at the same time preserving, conserving and promoting the quintessence of Kinh Bac culture and rice culture.
