Bang Keng

Bang Keng lies in the highlands west of the Cham coast, near the Krông Năng, a tributary of the Ba River. The remains of a Cham building here show that the artistic traditions of the coastal realm reached inland. Tiles and pottery from the site resemble material found at Cham centres such as Trà Kiệu and Thành Hồ, as well as at other religious sites in the highlands. The river valleys formed part of a landscape inhabited by highland peoples and linked to the eastern coast.
