Dong Duong Buddhist Monastery (Vihara)
Constructed in 875 AD by King Indravarman II, the Dong Duong Buddhist Monastery served as a grand center for Mahayana Buddhism within the ancient Champa kingdom. Although heavily impacted by time and war, the expansive archaeological site still preserves remnants of unique Indian-influenced architectural styles and sculptures. It stands as an invaluable historical landmark showcasing the diverse religious fabric of ancient central Vietnam. See more details
Chien Dan Towers
Built in the late 10th to early 11th century, the Chien Dan Towers consist of three distinct brick structures aligned in a north-south orientation. This architectural group represents a transitional artistic phase between the classical My Son style and the later Binh Dinh style. Visitors can explore both the intricately carved sandstone motifs on the exterior walls and the adjacent small museum housing salvaged artifacts. See more details
Khuong My Towers
Erected during the first half of the 11th century, the Khuong My Towers comprise a triad of elegant brick shrines dedicated to Hindu deities. The site is widely celebrated for its remarkably well-crafted stone bas-reliefs and decorative pilasters featuring dancers and mythical creatures. These harmonious structures capture the peak of Cham artistic achievement, blending structural symmetry with profound spiritual symbolism. See more details
