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
From the main entrance, visitors will take a transfer by buggy car to skip a 2-kilometers-long walk to the temple zone (still walk after this ride).
In My Son Sanctuary, visitors will see Temple B-C-D (the largest group), Temple A, Temple G, Temple E, Temple F and ruins along the trekking trail. See more details
Total walking distance is 2 kilometers.
Traditional Art Performance of Cham People
Have a seat, relax and watch a stunning show with performances by Cham artists. All artists will wear the traditional costume, dance or play a musical instrument. This cultural show brings the audience a good time and a chance to know better about intangible cultural heritages of Cham people who built My Son. See more details
