The Atmospheric Ruins Of Mỹ Sơn Near Hoi An, Vietnam

Mỹ Sơn is a nice collection of Hindu temples, dating to the 4th to 14th century AD, give or take a billion years. No matter the time of construction, the temples in heavy disrepair have a nice ominous jungle quality, while the more intact temples hint at how intricate architecture once was. The temple theme is Shiva worship.

The area has a teenie weenie Angkor feel to it, with an added splash of lush, overgrown jungle. A rainy day helps with the mystical atmosphere



The jungle, taking over.
