Although the area was heavily bombed by the Americans during the war, 20 monuments escaped destruction. Currently the Vietnamese government is restoring the remaining sites.
The Champa Kingdom ran from Da Nang to Nha Trang. This culture had many Indian influences. Cham people used the sanskrit language and hinduism was their religion.
My Son was declared a World Heritage Site in 2000 by the UNESCO. My Son was a religious center from the year 900 through 1300. Most of the temples are dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Shiva.
If you rent a private tour to My Son, try getting here first hour in the morning, before the hordes of tourists take the site.
