The UNESCO World Heritage Site My Son is Vietnam’s most important and iconic Cham site and a must-see during your time in Vietnam. Head an hour and a half outside of Hoi An with your private driver and English-speaking guide to spend a half day exploring the Hindu ruins dedicated to Shiva dating back to the Champa dynasty. My Son became an important religious center in the late 4th century and endured until the 13th century, the longest period of development in Southeast Asia. Regarded as one of the foremost important Hindu temple complexes in Southeast Asia, My Son is widely considered to be the Champa civilization’s counterpart to the grand temple complexes of Indian influenced civilizations such as Angkor in Cambodia, Ayutthaya in Thailand, and Borobudur in Indonesia. Heavy carpet bombing during the Vietnam War has destroyed some of the former grandeur, but the majority of the temple sites in the complex have survived. After visit, transfer back your hotel.
