Final Jeopardy! clue: The 14th century citadel of the Ho dynasty in this country was added to the World Heritage List in 2011

[spoiler title=’Click/Tap Here for Correct Response’]What is Vietnam? (Steve said Korea)[/spoiler]

With ties no longer allowed, I’m OK with Steve’s bet.

That’s something that I can file under “Today I learned…” (I said Cambodia. Whoops.)

Meanwhile, I would like to remind my readers that board selection and contestant selection are performed randomly and independently of each other.

From UNESCO:

The 14th-century Ho Dynasty citadel, built according to the feng shui principles, testifies to the flowering of neo-Confucianism in late 14th century Viet Nam and its spread to other parts of east Asia. According to these principles it was sited in a landscape of great scenic beauty on an axis joining the Tuong Son and Don Son mountains in a plain between the Ma and Buoi rivers. The citadel buildings represent an outstanding example of a new style of south-east Asian imperial city.
