Da Nang: Awakening the tourism potential of ancient Cham towers
07/31/2025 10:31 | TTXVN |
As the land where the small state of Amaravati, considered the center of the Cham kingdom, once existed for many centuries, Da Nang province remains rich in Cham heritage sites. Specifically, the most famous Cham architectural complex in former Quang Nam Province is the My Son Sanctuary. Other Cham towers, including the Bang An Tower in An Thang Ward, the Chien Dan Tower in Tay Ho Commune, and the Khuong My Tower in Tam Xuan Commune, are also architectural treasures, however they remain disconnected from the city’s tourism map.
