History
My Son was the religious center of the Champa Kingdom from the 4th to 13th centuries, its towers serving Hindu rituals and royal ceremonies. Hoi An grew as a trading port from the 15th–19th centuries and kept varied Chinese, Japanese and European influences in its architecture.
Conservation
