Great Cham Towers in Quy Nhon

Quy Nhon is not only beautiful beach town, the town origins stretch back to the 11th century Champa culture (Wikipedia). Champa people built few temples in current Binh Dinh province Vietnam. Interestingly the cham towers look similar to Angkor Wat in Cambodia. You can find some in Nha Trang as well.

Have you been to any of the Cham towers? If you get bored with beach. Hire a motorbike and visit some Cham towers. It will make a great road trip. Those 3 places are close to Quy Nhon and easy to drive.

Sound track for this blog, not Kingsland, but Champa

Here is my exploration!

First Cham tower was Binh Lam tower. It was middle of residential houses, with fully fenced. Very quiet area.

Around here
After leaving Thap Binh Lam, I drove through rice field.

Second one was Banh It which were the most spectacular buildings in Binh Dinh.

Nice view from the temples
The location

Last one/third one was Hung Thanh in Quy Nhon city. It is popular sightseeing spot for tourists.

Somewhat touristy here
