Stop 1
The towers were built specially by special bricks. After a long time, it is still hard and has brilliant color. The scientists can’t know how it was built and it may remain unknown forever. Through many researches, people made the same bricks and repaired My Son with these bricks. But after a short time, color was faded and started to grow moss. In comparison with the tower’s bricks, they never came close.
If we visit My Son in the morning, at 9:30 and 10:30 am, you will have a chance to enjoy the rite, see the Ancient Champa dance restored by local government.
