Into the Jungle Temples: A Full-Day My Son Sanctuary Tour from Hoi An
Trip duration: 1 days
Full-Day My Son Sanctuary Tour from Hoi An
Trip duration: 1 days
My Son is one of those sites that stops you in your tracks. Hidden in a jungle valley 50 km from Hoi An, this collection of Hindu temple towers was built between the 4th and 12th centuries as the spiritual and intellectual heart of the Champa Kingdom — a civilisation that once dominated central Vietnam and left behind an architectural legacy unlike anything else in Southeast Asia. UNESCO recognised it in 1999 as Vietnam's fourth World Heritage Site, and the setting alone — ancient red-brick towers rising from dense tropical forest — makes it worth the full day.
This tour pairs My Son with two stops that most visitors skip: Tra Kieu, the former administrative capital of the Champa Kingdom, and Kim Bong Carpentry Village on the Thu Bon River, where the traditional woodworking craft that shaped Hoi An's old town is still very much alive. A Cham traditional dance performance at the sanctuary adds cultural context that the ruins alone can't give you.
