Ancient cultural site on verge of disintegration
Thanh Nien Daily, 03 July 2008
The historical site, nationally recognized in January 2001, is now on the verge of disappearing, with residents and outsiders stealing thousands of ancient bricks along with sculptures they pilfered without permission.
Locals say the 33,000-square-meter complex still holds thousands of artifacts buried by the 1968 bombing.
