QUẢNG NAM — The central province of Quảng Nam has called for an emergency restoration plan to save the ruins of the Đồng Dương Buddhist monastery, a tower complex and pedestal altar built by the ancient kingdom of Champa, from complete collapse. “However, any restoration plan or architectural repairs related to the national relic must be approved by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. It also needs a huge fund from the State budget to restore the Chăm complex to its original design from previous centuries,” he added. He said land clearance for the site restoration project would begin in 2025. The provincial department said a conference on restoring the ancient site will be scheduled for 2025.
