We took an hour bus ride from Hoian to My Son (commonly known as the smaller version of Ang Kor Wat in Cambodia).
My Son is the major site in Vietnam from the ancient Champa Kingdom which flourished between the 2nd and 15th centuries. It remained occupied from 4th century through to the 13th century. According to the tour guide, the Ang Kor Wat was actually built by the descendants of Champa Kingdom. That possibly explained the resemblance of My Son and Ang Kor Wat.
The stones represent certain part of the male and female body.
Many parts of the the building structure were destroyed in a war in 1969.
