Built in 1929-1932, the Cai Be Catholic Church has the tallest bell tower of the Tien Giang Province, South Vietnam. It is 52m (171 ft) high. The bells weigh 400, 650, 800, 1000 and 2000kg respectively.

A group of young children start ringing the bells at 4:00 AM every day. You can watch them in action on this interesting video of the church.
