That decline, along with the abandonment of the site, left My Son swallowed by the jungle for centuries, until its rediscovery in the 19th century by French colonizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly, <strong>the Vietnam War damaged the ruins enormously<\/strong>, as the area was bombed continuously by the US military, leaving only a few temples standing and most of them severely damaged. Even today you can still see the enormous bomb craters in the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My Son Sanctuary was <strong>declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999<\/strong>, driving international efforts toward its restoration and conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"visiting_the_my_son_sanctuary\"><\/span>Visiting the My Son Sanctuary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>As soon as you arrive, near the entrance, you&#8217;ll find a small museum<\/strong> with an exhibition on the site and the Champa civilization, where you can get a sense of its importance and place it in historical context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;ve seen it, <strong>there&#8217;s a marked route through the sanctuary<\/strong>.
