What you'll see and do

  1. My Son Sanctuary

    Journey deep into a lush jungle valley to discover My Son Sanctuary, one of Southeast Asia's most remarkable archaeological sites. As you walk along shaded forest paths, your guide brings history to life at the ruins of temples built between the 4th and 13th centuries by the Champa civilization — a powerful kingdom that once flourished along Vietnam's central coast. Marvel at the surviving brick towers and learn about the ingenious construction techniques the Cham people used to build them, including their mysterious brick-laying and adhesive methods that continue to puzzle experts today. Along the way, you'll hear the stories behind the site's Hindu carvings, towers, and sacred rituals. Finally, discover why My Son was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 — from its outstanding cultural value and architectural significance to its role as a window into a lost civilization.
