Impressive Cham towers in Binh Dinh Province
Published: May 27, 2016
The late 12th century Hung Thach twin towers in the Dong Da Ward of Binh Dinh Province’s Quy Nhon City are impressive and unique examples of the religious architecture of the Champa kingdom.
The 6,000m2 complex, with its northern and southern towers, was recognised as a national relic in 1980 by the Ministry of Information and Culture, and it was restored by the Vietnamese government in 2008 after suffering neglect over a long period of time.
Here are some photos of the towers which were taken by Da Nang Today’s employee Bui Anh Chung.
