This is one of the temple sites badly bombed by US military forces during the Vietnam War. What I observed also is that the temples are built singly unlike in Angkor Wat where there are stand-alone temples as well as temple complexes. In Vietnam, this place is called My Son Holy Land, holy to the Chams who had a powerful kingdom in Vietnam from the 2nd Century until 1832 when they were annexed by Vietnamese emperor Minh Han. The capital of the Cham Kingdom then 

 was located here with the many temples which the Americans bombed into ruins.

The sites are designated by groups. This one comes under Group F and appears fairly large. It is quite badly bombed. As the guide briefed us, in the year 2,000, an Italian architect attempted to re-build it but failed. It remains in its decrepit form till now. My Son Holy Land is an acclaimed UNESCO World Heritage Site.   

The temples are aligned to the mountain, which is considered holy, in the distant background.

Bang giving us a run down on the significance and history of My Son Holy Land.
