Mỹ Sơn: Ancient Vietnam Treasure Savaged by War V N

During a single week in 1969 the US military dropped bombs on what is now the World Heritage Site of Mỹ Sơn not far from Da Nang, reducing much of the centuries-old Cham Kingdom sanctuary to rubble and destroying its most important temple. North Vietnamese forces had set up a jungle command center within the temple grounds.

Yet much survives, much has been restored and Mỹ Sơn in Central Vietnam remains perhaps the country's most important antiquities site, even if it is often overlooked by foreign visitors who flock to Da Nang, the ancient town of Hoi An and splendid beaches nearby.
