In Duy Phu village, Duy Xuyen district, Quang Nam province, at My Son valley, there is still
a most important complex of Hindu temple-towers which is a symbol of the Champa art
and continuously developed from the 4th century to the 13th century.
The ancient Champa people were raised to be "the masters of art in building brick." So far
the technique in building the ancient temple-towers of Champa people remains controversial.
The bricks were smoothed and laid closely and securely without mortar. My Son's value is also
reflected in the art of lively and fine sculpture and carving on brick, stone from the images of
deities, priests, dances, plants, animals and sacrifices...
Because of its prominent value as an example of cultural exchange andintegration of external
cultures, especially the art and architecture of hinduism with the native culture, combined
with lively reflection of the Champa kingdom in south east asia cultural history, in December
1999, UNESCO listed My Son a world cultural heritage.
