Lunch included
Cycling from Hoi An to My Son Sanctuary is a fantastic way to experience the rural beauty of Central Vietnam. The approximately 45-kilometer journey takes you through charming local villages, vibrant rice paddies, and quiet, scenic countryside roads. While the ride requires moderate fitness, the transition from coastal plains to the peaceful, forested valley housing the ancient Champa ruins is deeply rewarding. It offers a much more immersive and authentic perspective than arriving by car.
Highlights
Cycle though rice fields, peaceful villages, green hills & quite rivers
Sightsee My Son temples, foremost remains of Champa kingdom
Escape from the hustle & bustle in the city
Optional boat trip on Thu Bon River, the largest river in area

Cycling to My Son Sanctuary (distance: approximately 45km)

This peaceful route keeps you away from heavy traffic as you transition from the coastal plains to the quiet, forested valley surrounding the ancient My Son Sanctuary.
Sightsee temples in 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
