| Many of the towers at My Son are rapidly aging |
The site, in the central province of Quang Nam’s My Son Village, has had to cope with several severe floods.
Serious damage to the Cham towers has occurred through the flooding, with the famous Garuda Bird statue also suffering.
Cracks have been found on the walls, doors and foundations of several of the towers, requiring immediate restoration work.
According to the site’s management board, a total of 30 towers, including key architectural sites in the central area of the site are on the brink of collapse.
“If no drastic measure is taken, we may have to ban visitors from entry to some places,” the board noted.
Currently, My Son Sanctuary welcomes over 1,000 visitors per day.
