At dawn, the My Son Sanctuary rests in profound, breathless silence. A crisp, cool mountain breeze sweeps away the night, leaving the air tasting purely of fresh rain and wet jungle leaves. Nestled in their quiet valley, the ancient moss-covered brick towers slowly emerge from a blanket of soft morning mist, wrapped in absolute tranquility. It feels completely untouched, like a sacred kingdom still peacefully asleep.

Our driver and guide will pick up you at your hotel in Hoi An.
*Tip: Request a breakfast box from your hotel in advance. After seeing temples, you can sit down at a cafe and enjoy your food with a nice Vietnamese coffee.
Thanh Ha Fish Market
Situated along the Thu Bon River just outside Hoi An’s Ancient Town, the Thanh Ha Fish Market is a bustling, authentic wet market that comes alive in the pre-dawn hours. Local fishermen dock directly at the riverbank to unload their nightly catch, filling the stalls with an incredible variety of fresh, shimmering seafood, crabs, and shrimp. It offers an unpolished, high-energy look into daily Vietnamese coastal life, making it a fantastic spot for sensory immersion and raw street photography. See more details
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
A very pleasant day
It was a very lovely day, well organized and always on time, good explanations and time to see all the different places. Would repeat again.
A great way to start the day!
This trip was fantastic! The driver and guide both arrived on time (early actually) and we got to My Son before it opened. Although it was a little rainy we were still able to get some good photos. Our guide Binh was very knowledgable and friendly. He was able to answer questions and appreciated when to stop talking and just allow us to view the area. I would highly recommend this trip.
