🇻🇳My Son Sanctuary UNESCO Heritagr Site🇻🇳

🇻🇳The Harmonious Hoi An🇻🇳 A lot of the My Son temples were lost then it was overtaken by the jungle, and the natural world swallowed the remains of the culture that had thrived for almost a millennium…and today these are what remains of this historical ancient place. After being lost, My Son was finally rediscovered by the French in 1898. They then embarked on a restoration project, realising the significance of the site. Fast forward to August 1969 when much of this restoration work was undone, and in just one week, American B52s carpet bombed the site during an intense period of fighting during the Vietnam War. The section of My Son with the largest temples – the most impressive and most holy – was turned into a pile of rubble. But luckily for future tourists (like myself) and for the cultural legacy of mankind, some sections survived and can still be visited today💙 #freehotelstay #localguides #urbanexplorer #historicallandmarks #awesomepic #foodie #celebratewithtrip #mytripvlog
