Central Vietnam · UNESCO World Heritage
My Son was the religious heart of the Champa kingdom, which ruled central Vietnam for over a thousand years. Its Hindu temples, built in brick from around the 4th to the 13th centuries, stand in a green valley ringed by mountains.
Many were damaged in war, but the surviving towers and carvings are beautiful and atmospheric, especially early in the morning. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
What to see
- Group B, C and D. The best preserved cluster of towers and carvings.
- Group A. Once the largest tower, badly damaged in war; the ruins still impress.
- The site museum. Explains Cham history and the restoration work.
- Cultural performance. Traditional Cham dance is performed several times a day.
Tips
- Go at opening time for soft light and fewer people, before the heat.
- Some tours return to Hoi An by boat along the Thu Bon River.
- Bring water and a hat: there is little shade.
