UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage: My Son Sanctuary in Vietnam (11)

（Xinhua）  10:32, April 30, 2013  

Bombs are seen in My Son Sanctuary, which was badly wrecked during last century's Vietnam War, in central Vietnam, on April 29, 2013. Between the 4th and 13th centuries, a unique culture which owed its spiritual origins to Indian Hinduism developed on the coast of contemporary Vietnam. It was graphically illustrated by the remains of a series of impressive tower-temples located in My Son that was the religious and political capital of the Champa Kingdom for most of its existence. My Son Sanctuary was inscripted in UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage list in 1999. (Xinhua/Zhang Jianhua)
