The most prominent Cham site in Vietnam is My Son, in the hills some 50 kilometres from Hoi An.
As we approach the parking lot of My Son, we realise we are in a remote area of this part of Vietnam. No villages nearby, no villages anywhere in sight in the surrounding hills. After walking a little bit, a special shuttle truck takes us to the actual entrance of the site. Here, several groups of temples still stand, while others have been blown away - brick victims of the American war when guerrillas used some of the temples to hide. Bombing of the towers stopped after a French expert of Cham culture wrote a letter to president Nixon.
