Later, he dreamed of a golden dragon and gave the tower the name Tuong Long, meaning "Seeing the golden dragon appear" to remember the good omen. Some people believe that Do Son seaport is one of the cradles that received the tower here to worship Buddha. In the past, this place may have been an observatory in the "transmitting light" system.

One meter is 0.45m long, so the tower is about 0.45m high. , located on a mountain 100m above the sea, so this tower was among the tallest towers in Vietnam at that time. Tuong Long Tower was renovated and restored many times during the Tran and dynasties Le, but in the 3rd year of Gia Long (1804), the Nguyen court demolished the tower to get bricks to build Hai Duong citadel.
