Overview

Embark on a day tour that introduces you to Vietnam's ancient history, culture, and lifestyle. My Son is a hidden gem in central Vietnam, once the spiritual and political center of the Champa Kingdom. This UNESCO World Heritage site sits in a serene valley surrounded by forested mountains, offering a peaceful escape from city life. The temples here are remarkable examples of Hindu architecture and craftsmanship. My Son was the political and spiritual center from the 4th to the 13th century. This impressive architectural ensemble vividly illustrates the spiritual and political life during a significant phase in Southeast Asia. The temples in My Son were originally made of wood. They were completely destroyed by fire in the 6th century. Sambhuvarman restored them in the 7th century using bricks made locally. Guided by an English-speaking professional, enjoy insightful facts about the history of Champa. A trip to My Son with the Half-day Journey To My Son Sanctuary is a journey back in time, offering a blend of history and breathtaking scenery.

Itinerary

Fans of architecture and ancient history will find a day trip to southern Vietnam unforgettable, as it takes you to the My Son Hindu Sanctuary—a collection of partially ruined temples that, though long abandoned, were once a vibrant spiritual center for the early Champa civilization. Your guide will meet you at your hotel and take you to My Son, a fascinating site from the Champa Kingdom. Set in a lush valley surrounded by mountains, it’s one of the most beautiful places to visit in Central Vietnam, just 80 kilometers from Da Nang. Excavations at My Son revealed letters showing the complex was used for offerings and the worship of the Hindu god starting in the 4th century. In 1999, UNESCO recognized My Son as a World Heritage Site. The sanctuary is an extraordinary collection of architecture built over ten centuries, reflecting the spiritual and political life of the region. 
The temples were first made of wood but were destroyed by fire in the 6th century and rebuilt in the 7th century by Sambhuvarman using locally made bricks. By the 13th century, more than 70 temples had been built, establishing My Son as a central hub of Hindu worship in the Champa Kingdom. As you explore, you’ll see temples and towers in various states of preservation, each revealing Hindu influences and offering a glimpse into the past. Your visit includes a guided tour, the opportunity to admire architectural marvels spanning ten centuries, and insights into Hindu worship practices dating back to the 4th century. With the Half-day Journey To My Son Sanctuary, travel in comfort with air-conditioned transport, bottled water, and an English-speaking guide, and end your day with a return to your hotel in Da Nang City Center.
