My Son Sanctuary has long been the last relic to recall the once-flourishing kingdom of Cham in central Vietnam. Many tourists think that My Son is similar to Angkor Wat in Cambodia. But the truth is not so.
My Son is smaller but even older than Angkor Wat.
And more specifically, My Son is the holy land of the Cham people in Vietnam. Therefore, each relic will have its own unique cultural, artistic, and spiritual beliefs.
Marble Mountain was the masterpiece of nature that gave them to Da Nang - the central land of Vietnam. The harmony of the natural ecosystem has combined with spiritual life, so this place is getting more and more popular every year!
Follow me to discover My Son in particular as well as the religious customs of Hindus in general and listen to stories, legends, and myths about Marble mountains - The holy land of Buddhism
