The description of the city of Champa is available from a Chinese text.³ It is stated to have been situated at a distance of about 6½ miles from the sea coast. ‘At the north-west angle of the ramparts of the city were high mountains and a long chain of hills. To the north of these hills flowed a river, to the south also there was another river which joined the former to the east of the city.’
