Vietnam South Central Coast Phan Rang-Thap Cham

Phan Rang–Thap Cham, also called Panduranga, is a new city in Vietnam and the capital of Ninh Thuan Province. Thap Cham and Pham Rang district has become a centre for the maintenance of Cham culture. Much of the district is occupied by Cham people where they have rice paddies, orchards of grapes and peaches, flocks of goats and Brahman cattle. Their towers (the 'Thap') are beautiful memorials to their kings and queens. There are several Cham sites with dilapidated towers along the central coast of Vietnam and major sites in Mỹ Sơn and Nha Trang.
