Phyllis&Lorne-Fall 2012
Took a tour to an old Hindu Holy site called My Son, about 2 hours from Hoi An. This was the major religious centre in the Cham Empire until about the 12th or 13th centuries, when the Cham were conquered by the Khmer. The temples were constructed around 400AD and are mainly brick. They withstood time reasonably well. The area is quite small compared with Angkor Wat in Cambodia and, as a result, was not very impressive. Nevertheless, their age and state of preservation are notable. We returned to Hoi An and spent some time in the old town spending money. Tomorrow we head north to the old imperial city of Hue.
