#Worth1000Words Karin Avila On My Son Vietnam
from Travel Writers Radio
Uncovering My Son's Legacy Located 55 kilometres in the misty mountains outside of Hoi An lies My Son. Pronounced “mee-sun”, these ruins in Central Vietnam date back to the 4th century. They were inhabited for hundreds of years by the Cham people, known for maritime skills and commanding local trade routes. The site stands as a reminder of the historically-rich Vietnamese landscape, bearing scars from modern warfare in the form of grassy craters created by bombs used to drive out the Viet Cong who hid among the ruins. This lush site is a worthwhile visit for its enlightening and somber history and natural wonders. And we reckon that;s definitely Worth1000Words. Image: Karin Avila
