Yang Prong Tower is located in Ea Rok Commune, Ea Sup District, known by local residents as Yang Prong - meaning "Great God".

This is the only tower in the Central Highlands built at the end of the 13th century to worship Shiva in the form of Mulkhalinga, wishing for the growth of the race and happiness. The tower architecture is a harmonious combination between the ancient Cham culture and the influence of Hindu art culture.

Yang Prong Tower is an architectural block built of red brick, the top is wide and tapered in the shape of flower buds. The tower is 9m high (excluding the top), from the tower base to the ground is 0.08m. On the outer walls of the tower, people make fake doors for decoration. The plan of the tower is square, each side is 5m, there is a single door opening to the east. The base of the tower is large stone slabs of different sizes, smoothed. The higher the tower, the narrower it becomes, the brick is covered with a smooth layer (like mortar).

Yang Prong is located next to old trees in a sparse forest stretching along the banks of the Ea H'leo River, which is full of water all year round. The sparse forest is supplied with cool water from the Ea Nao stream, so during the four seasons Yang Prong is covered with a green color of leaves, creating a charming and poetic natural scene.

Every year, on New Year's holidays, people from all ethnic groups in the region still come here to smoke incense, make offerings, and pray for all the well-being.

Yang Prong is a tower of great archeological, historical and cultural value. On August 3, 1991, Yang Prong Tower was classified as a National Architectural Monument.
