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
Have lunch
Your lunch will be a local specialty food called ‘Mi Quang’ (or Quang Noodles). It’s a noodle dish that is made of soft rice noodles, chicken and broth. Raw vegetables, fresh herbs and crispy grilled rice paper are served as side dishes. See more details

Hoi An Ancient Town
Hoi An Ancient Town is an exceptionally well-preserved South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century. In 1999, it’s honored to be a world heritage site. This town is famous for pretty narrow streets with yellow-wall houses, colorful lanterns and many tailor shops. It’s also one of the most photographed places in Vietnam. See more details
In Hoi An, you will see these places:
– Japanese Covered Bridge: the symbol of Hoi An. This wooden building was constructed in the 17th century by Japanese people. Today, it’s also called ‘Pagoda bridge’ because it has a small temple where the locals worship a Taoist god. See more details
– Tan Ky Old House: the most typical old wooden house in Hoi An. Its main entrance is on a main street and its back is by the river (or quay). The family who owns it, sold the silk and cinnamon in the past and the wealth of the family is reflected by premium furniture, collections of antiquities and decorative items. In the last hall, visitors can see the water levels of the floods by year. See more details
