This tour focuses on ancient Cham vestiges, mainly brick towers along the central coastal plains. Visitors will have a chance to study one of the most remarkable ancient civilizations in Southeast Asia etched on towers built by the various Cham dynasties from the 7th to the 14th century. These are unique cultural structures of great value that can be compared with such famous monuments in South East Asia as Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Pagan in Myanmar or Borobudur in Indonesia. Not only their splendid past, the present-day lifestyle of Cham people is also presented. Visitors will tour traditional Cham villages around Phan Rang to admire their colourful handicrafts as well as to get to know the diversity of their religion. Meetings with Cham culture researchers at seminars surely enrich visitors’ experience.
