When guests ask what are the best historical excursions to do, more often than not we suggest a ride to the south of Hoi An to visit the UNESCO archaeological site of My Son.  For those looking to learn about the history of the area, then the abandoned city of My Son provides a glimpse into the Champa Culture of the 4-13th century with its incredible Hindu temples that were nearly lost to the jungle and war over the centuries.

The temples at My Son once served as a religious and burial site for the Champa kings and religious leaders with the archaeological complex showcasing various architectural styles, reflecting different periods of the Champa rule in the region and after centuries of neglect, My Son Sanctuary was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 and is still being explored and restored by a dedicated team of archaeologists. 

The entrance fee is currently 150,000 vnd for international visitors We recommend visiting the site at dawn or dusk especially when it is less crowded and less hot
