My UNESCO WHS List

This blog puts together some of my passions: travelling, especially to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS); philately (collecting stamps); deltiology (collecting postcards); and doing research into TUIs (i.e., totally useless information) of things that interest me. Hence, it catalogues UNESCO WHS that I have been to, stamps showing UNESCO WHS that I have, as well as postcards featuring UNESCO WHS that I have received (i.e., stamped and posted) and maxicards and postal cards (both used or unused).

My Son Sanctuary is located in Quang Nam province. It was the site of Champapura, the capital of the Indianised Hindu Champa Kingdom, which lasted between the 4th and 13th century CE. The remains found here are of tower temples built to venerate Hindu gods, particularly Shiva, and are evidence of the history and culture of the Cham people.
