My Son Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
My Son Sanctuary 🇻🇳
If you are currently visiting Vietnam, one interesting attraction that you shouldn’t miss is My Son. My Son is a cluster of abandoned and partially ruined Shaiva Hindu temples in central Vietnam, this place was constructed between the 4th and the 14th century by the Kings of Champa, an Indianized kingdom of the Cham people.
My Son is the most complete Cham site in Vietnam and its setting in a lush jungle valley below Cats Tooth mountain, that’s bring a wonderful view. This place is now became an UNESCO World Heritage Site (You should spend at least one day to exploring all sites).

🇻🇳UNESCO My Son Sanctuary🇻🇳
Roaming the grounds of My Son Sanctuary, so many beautiful ruins around. Some are being rebuilt carefully as they don’t want to destroy or diminish the original ruins of this huge temple. When visitors also come to visit, they are careful not to touch or deface any of the structures. The sanctuary is huge and surrounded by nature, it was really nice to see the structures even in their destructed conditions. A must visit when in Hoi An👍

🇻🇳UNESCO My Son🇻🇳
🇻🇳The Harmonious Hoi An🇻🇳
The name ‘My Son’ means ‘beautiful mountain’ and it’s easy to see how it got its name, with the complex set in moist green jungle beneath a cluster of impressive peaks, the temples, full of history, are carved with the faces of its creators, these are the highlights.
The My Son Sanctuary temples survived centuries of time, they survived territorial wars, and they survived years of neglect. What finally destroyed the grandest of them all was American bombs but thankfully not everything was lost.

My Son Sanctuary - the ruined temples
Location: Duy Phú, Duy Xuyên District, Quảng Nam, Vietnam
About 45 mins drive from Hoi An old town, we came to visit the ruined Hindo temples that were constructed between the 4th and the 14th century by the Kings of Champa, an Indianized kingdom of the Cham people (according to Wikipedia :)
I have been to a number of Hindu Temples, of which Angkor Wat being the greatest, Bali as well as Thailand Ayutthaya, there almost resemble some similarities in somewhere or what not. My Son Sanctuary was considered a smaller scale with 7 sites, (B,C,D is the biggest complex of the ruins) if I could compare, but it's still worth a visit.
Tickets cost 150.000 VND for adults and 40.000 VND for children. There are few ways to get here, but we have hired a local driver that makes our time more flexible to travel from one place to another.
I shall share more places that we visited in my next posts.

My Son Heritage Resort and Spa Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The world cultural heritage My Son Di sản Văn
I mean, it's UNESCO world heritage, so obviously a must see. We booked a private tour with pick-up from Hoi An. Expensive but worth it to have a local guide that can explain everything. We also went very early (8 AM) which is definitely a good idea! No hundreds of tourists disturbing the peace but rather enjoying the sereen environment where My Son is situated. Also the sun was burning already like hell so we were very happy we didn't go any later in the day. the site itself is big with plenty of temples. While all dedicated tot he same god there are differences between them. Lot's of international cooperation to restore the temples which makes it easier to imagine how they would've looked. A real shame that the war damaged so many of them. It would've been amazing to see them while still in one piece!

Exploring My Son Sanctuary
Best to get a tour guide around the place since it is almost 1hour car journey from the Old Town and is rather big. Will be good to have some background history of the place rather than just walking around aimlessly
