This day tour shows you My Son Sanctuary and after it, a boat trip on Thu Bon River, the largest river in the area. The sanctuary is known as a complex of over 70 Hindu temples and towers that are constructed from the 4th to 14th centuries. Here, Cham people and emperors of the Champa kingdom worshipped Shiva god. Until today, building techniques they used are not fully discovered yet. In 1999, My Son was inscribed by UNESCO to be a world heritage site. It’s called ‘Angkor Wat of Vietnam’ by many travelers. The laid-back boat trip takes you back to Hoi An city center, providing the chance to watch rural landscapes along the river, and escape from the traffic.

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
