Up to now, 20 years have passed, the ancient town of Hoi An has been preserved as the status quo with a unique ancient architectural complex with houses, pagodas, temples, shrines, wells, bridges, ancestral temple, a harbor and market.

My Son temple complex in Duy Xuyen district, Quang Nam province, is the cultural and religious centre of the ancient Champa dynasties, although not intact, it still has great historical value of Cham culture as well as the culture - art of Southeast Asia.
