My Son

We took a day tour from Hoi An to the historic site of My Son, once described as Vietnam's Angkor Wat. It was once the most important intellectual and religious centre of the kingdom of Champa, and was occupied from the late 4th century until the 13th century. Unfortunately the Vietcong also occupied it during the Vietnam War so the Americans bombed the **** out of it. Consequently there's not much left!
