| Today, motorbike again, this time from Hoi An ... |
|
|
|
| ... to the Champa site of ... |
|
|
| ... My Son ! |
|
|
| "My Son" is the most important Cham temple complex and could have served as a capital. Temples are dedicated to Vishnu, although later ones are Buddhist. |
|
|
| The site is mainly divided in 3 sections, the first one being in the best shape |
|
|
| Each section has many buildings |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Inside one of the temples, organised as a mini museum |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This is section 2 |
|
|
|
|
| ... and here is section 3 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Nice sacrifice altar |
|
|
| Too bad I can't read that, this stele has text engraved on both sides |
|
|
| Coming back to section 1 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| That would look nice in the living room, don't you think ? |
|
|
|
|
|
| The guardians look ferocious ! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I know, I took many pictures of this one, but Netta liked its treasure-box -like shape |
|
|
| Vietnam has a lot of propaganda signs |
|
|
| A lot of flags too ... |
|
|
| ... seriously, they're everywhere |
|
