According to Mr. Nguyen Cong Khiet, My Son is currently using electric vehicles to transport visitors from Khe The bridge to Nha Doi area with the number of people per day from 1,000 to 2,000, but the cost is high and difficult to meet in the future when the number of visitors increases. Therefore, the proposal to build an electric train line will help relieve the pressure of transportation and create an attractive experience service for visitors.
Since 2005, the Japanese Government has funded the construction of a museum and an office building outside the site. The museum is displaying and introducing many important collections of artifacts from My Son temples such as stone pillars, inscriptions, sandstone tower tops, Nandin bull statues, etc., especially the national treasure Mukhalinga.
In addition, the museum also arranges electronic maps of the tower groups; panels introducing the Champa culture and its connection with some regional cultures, along with hundreds of terracotta artifacts excavated at the My Son G tower group.
After 20 years of operation, the museum not only makes an important contribution to the conservation and promotion of heritage values; provides scientific information about My Son temple complex and Champa culture; educates the local community, young generations, students, and helps raise awareness of heritage conservation, but is also a concrete symbol of the cultural cooperation and friendship between Vietnam and Japan.
Mr. Nguyen Cong Khiet affirmed that the benefits of the Japanese Government's project to support My Son are enormous, especially in introducing and promoting the value of heritage. In 2024, My Son welcomed nearly 450,000 visitors, of which more than 50,000 visited the museum.
However, after a long period of operation, some museum and office items have deteriorated and need to be repaired and maintained, such as the fire alarm system, electrical and electronic systems, sensor systems to protect artifacts, floors, roofs, etc. In addition, the warehouse also does not ensure conditions for storing artifacts while the number of artifacts is constantly increasing after archaeological and heritage restoration projects.
The administrative building (now the headquarters of the My Son Cultural Heritage Management Board) has also become cramped, and some structures such as the roof and essential equipment have deteriorated and need repair.
“In addition to the proposal that the Japanese Government should pay attention to supporting the maintenance and repair of the museum and the administrative building; researching and supporting the train system to transport visitors from the My Son Museum to the Nha Doi area, we also request that the Japanese Government pay attention to supporting the restoration of the B3 tower which is in a state of tilting and sinking. Ms. Kamitani Naoko and the Japanese delegation have noted the above proposals,” Mr. Khiet informed.
