Tucked away in Quang Nam Province, the enchanting UNESCO World Heritage Site of My Son beckons with its ancient Hindu temples and towers that have withstood the test of time.
My Son was once the religious and political capital of the Cham people. The site spans over 140 hectares and includes 70 structures, although many were damaged during the Second Indochina War. Detailed carvings on the walls and pillars depict scenes from Hindu mythology, making it an important cultural and religious site.
My Son Sanctuary is less crowded than other Vietnam UNESCO Sites such as Ha Long Bay or Hoi An, but it is just as fascinating for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts.
