My Son Sanctuary
Hidden away in the mountains, My Son Sanctuary is the holy land of Cham people who owned the Champa kingdom from the 2nd to 19th centuries. It has more than 70 buildings. The oldest one was constructed in the 4th century. Here, Shiva is the main deity. After the 14th century, My Son was abandoned and then invaded by forests. In the Vietnam War, it’s damaged by bombings from the USA air force. See more details

Reviews
Must do in Hoi An
Getting there early was a very good choice. We were alone on the site. While leaving we saw all the buses ariving. Our guide Sherlok did a tremendous job showing us around
Early morning tour to avoid the crowds
The tour was very good. I recommend early morning, even then it is quite hot. Very few people, so you can make beautiful pictures. Our guide Hang was very good. Very friendly and good knowledge. I would recommend this tour.
Fantastic Tour with Vinh to My Son
My wife and I did an early morning half day tour of My Son and our tour guide, Vinh, was phenomenal. He was extremely knowledgeable about the site, the history of the area and its people, and made the day seamless. The tour company was also great with communication in advance of the tour via WhatsApp and customizing it to include a boat trip back to Hoi An after we finished at My Son. They accommodated our request for an extra early start, which made us the first people there for the day and we had the site to ourselves for the first 30-60 minutes.
Highly recommend this tour
I had an amazing early morning tour that was very well organized. Booking this tour was a wise decision, as it allowed me to fully admire the majestic beauty of My Son Sanctuary and gain insights into the life and masterpieces of the Cham people. Our tour guide, Tram, was cheerful and experienced, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour. Thank you!
Excellent My Son sanctuary sunrise tour
Tommy is a great and knowledgeable guide – the fact that this is an early-morning tour made our visit quite relaxing and enjoyable. Overall, a nice and memorable experience.
They are very communicative, we got a confirmation about the pick-up place and time through WhatsApp a day before. And they are punctual! We will get back in town before noon, so we will have another half day to enjoy Hoi An. I highly recommended the trip!
