TANKS Travel Tales - a travelogue.......

Mỹ Sơn Sanctuary ,  Quảng Nam Province,  Vietnam I have always been fascinated with archeological sites, probably inspired by the Indiana Jones movie series and Tomb Raider media franchise. Visiting the Mỹ Sơn Sanctuary in April 2025 was indeed a travel bucket list item for me. While this was a very short trip that lasted for just a couple of hours, it was a good introductory visit to the site for me. I joined an organised tour to the site and the information from the guide for our group was really very informative, especially for first time visitors like myself. Another archaeological site visited, another t ravel bucket list item fulfilled. ****************** On my cruise from  Singapore  to  Hong Kong  in  April 2025 , the ship had a Port Day at  Vietnam 's  Chân Mây .

On my cruise from Singapore to Hong Kong in April 2025 , the ship had a Port Day at Vietnam 's  Chân Mây . Taking opportunity of the day long port visit, I took a land excursion to  Mỹ Sơn Sanctuary , a UNESCO World Heritage site . In Mỹ Sơn Sanctuary, ancient Hindu Temples built between the 4th and 13th centuries by the Champa Kingdom can be found. Some of the structures are now crumbling and in ruins as time progresses. Nevertheless, they stood as a testament to a civilisation's rich culture and history that spans several centuries.
