#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👍

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.

A Collection of Beautiful Ruins
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a must-visit if you're travelling through Vietnam and end up near Danang or Hoi An. This was the easiest starting point during our trip when wanting to stop by this ancient site of the Champa Kingdom. Here you will be able to see over 70 different structures that are / were devoted to Hindu gods and goddesses, and the carvings on the bricks of each building can be pretty remarkable - some in better condition than others, of course.
When to visit: In the mornings! So that you don't get too hot, and the site (hopefully) won't be so busy at that time.
Find it: My Son Sanctuary, Duy Tan Commune, Duy Xuyen District of Quang Nam Province (70KM SW of Danang / 40KM from Hoi An), Vietnam

🇻🇳The Harmonious Hoi An🇻🇳
The My Son temple complex was built between the 4th century and the 14th century. It was the central worshipping centre for the Champa people who had five kingdoms in the surrounding areas.
The Champa had come from Java in Indonesia and brought with them their Hindu religion. My Son was dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva.
The god Shiva was the bringer of the wishes of the Champa people and the thing they wished for most was fertility. They wanted to grow their population because of the more people they had the stronger they would become.

My Son Ruins - Vietnam
My Son Ruins. About an hours drive from Hoi An.
Ancient ruins. Absolutely stunning!
Built with many influences involving, Khmer, North Vietnamese, South Vietnamese, West Vietnamese and Roman.
Some of the ruins were damaged by bombings from the Vietnam War. This just adds to the eeriness and ambience of the site.
Highly recommended 🙏
My Son world heritage
Good history at Danang Cham century! History from 13 century Hindu and Buddha
Old My Son
My Son Sanctuary dates from the 4th to the 13th centuries CE. It is located in the mountainous border Duy Xuyen District of Quang Nam Province, in central Viet Nam. The My Son Sanctuary is a remarkable architectural ensemble that developed over a period of ten centuries. It presents a vivid picture of spiritual and political life in an important phase of the history of South-East Asia. It will take two hours to drive from Da Nang.
Meishan is about 40 kilometers from Hoi An, tickets are 100
Meishan Holy Land is located in Meishan Village, Weifu Township, Weichuan County, Guangnan Province, Vietnam, 60 kilometers southwest of Da Nang City.
This is the only architectural art group that reflects the formation and development of the art of the clan.
To the local day tour group of the Meishan Ruins, each person is 7 dollars, if you do not take the boat, it seems to be 4 dollars. 7 dollars is included in the boat and lunch, and the boat will stay in a small town for more than half an hour. The tour fare is free of tickets, so tickets must be purchased by yourself.
Reporting the words, the driver will pick up the hotel and then go to the destination. Our group is almost all foreigners except me and my friends.
is called Angkor Wat in Vietnam. In fact, the area is very small. From the 3rd century to the 12th century, it has been the center of the clan kingdom.
Tickets: 150K Vietnamese Dong
If you are interested in the site, you can go to the Meishan Holy Land in Da Nang, Vietnam to cherish the long history. The beautiful mountain sanctuary is about 40 kilometers away from Hoi An. It is the site of the ancient Champo Kingdom. It is mainly dedicated to Hindu gods and kings and has been included in the world cultural heritage.
A piece of debris lies quietly in the lush basin of the forest. Today's desolateness is hard to imagine how strong it was at the political center of the half-Vietnamese Champod.
The carvings and statues on the wall are no longer complete, only the grass with strong vitality grows tenaciously.
Meishan is known as Angkor Wat in Vietnam. There is no Khmer smile here, but there is also a shackle of its own history.
When I see the picture, everyone will think that this is Cambodia, but in fact it is Vietnam. Here is the Meishan site, located more than 50 kilometers west of Hoi An.
Meishan has a history of more than 1,000 years and is the cultural soul of Vietnam. Meishan is the site of the ancient Champoor. It is the largest religious site in Vietnam. It is called "Angkor Wat in Vietnam". The temples here are made of masonry and have been the sacred center of Champoa for thousands of years and have been listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
There was a lot of viciousness in the Vietnam War. The brick tower that has not fallen for a hundred years can't resist the raindrops. After the war, only the remaining towers in the area were preserved. It has many similarities with Angkor culture. The scale and craftsmanship may not be comparable to Angkor, but the overall gas field is still very strong. The
site is built in a dense valley surrounded by mountains. A total of 70 Hindu temples have been built throughout the valley. The towers of Zhanpo are built of red bricks. Although not tall, they are complex and reflect the Hindu style. Also, because the Angkor Wat, a huge city built with megaliths, is more resistant to the test of wind and rain, the corrosion is more severe, and some places are wild grasses; the more the ruins go in, the broken stone columns on the ground. The more, the better the sculptures are better.

Ticket price: 15w Vietnamese Dong
Time: 6
