🛕✨ Day Trip to My Son Sanctuary — A Glimpse into Vietnam’s Ancient Cham Civilization

Took a half-day tour from Hoi An to the UNESCO-listed My Son Sanctuary, and it was absolutely worth the early start! 📍 Located about 1.5 hours from Hoi An, this historic site is often called Vietnam’s Angkor Wat — home to the ancient Hindu temples of the Champa Kingdom, set against a lush valley surrounded by mountains. The temples, some over a thousand years old, are partly in ruins but still rich in atmosphere and history. The tour guide gave great insights into the architecture and religious significance, and there was even a short cultural dance performance included. ☀️ Tip: It gets really hot by late morning, so book a morning tour (some include hotel pickup and water). Bring a hat, sunscreen, and good walking shoes — you’ll be trekking over uneven paths. 📸 Highlights: • Moss-covered temples and crumbling towers • Ancient carvings and lingas • Mountain backdrop that adds to the mystique #summervacay #mysonsanctuary #hoiandaytrip #unescoworldheritage #vietnamhistory #chamkingdom #templeruins
