| The tower has a structure of 3 parts: pedestal, body, top, the pedestal alone has an area of 36m22. The connection between the parts is designed quite elaborately. The tower is made from the main material of bamboo provided by the parishioners. At first, the tower was made in separate parts. Photo: Huy Thu |

| Then they were linked together to form a complete “tower”. It is known that to connect the parts together, the design team built a 2-storey scaffolding around the tower base and mobilized 30 people to support. Photo: Huy Thu |

| The tower was designed and directly constructed by two young men in the parish. Mr. Tran Van Duc (27 years old) - one of the two designers said: "Wanting something different from previous Christmas seasons, the parish decided to make a tower simulating the Eiffel Tower in France. Taking advantage of available materials such as bamboo, making the tower is not very expensive. Hopefully, when completed, the bamboo Eiffel Tower will bring joy to many people." Photo: Huy Thu |
