My Son Sanctuary is one of the most attractive historical places in Vietnam. It is located in a peaceful valley shelved by emerald green mountains. This UNESCO World Heritage site, dating back to the 4th century, was once the religious heart of the Champa Kingdom. The temples found here were in honour of the Hindu deity Shiva and were employed for royal usages and ceremonies.
Although most structures have been destroyed through centuries, the remaining ruins provide a breathtaking peep into the architectural talent of the Cham. If you're exploring the rich history, consider a Vietnam tour package to experience these ancient sites and much more.
The temple carvings and sculptures are very fine and rich and narrate stories of gods, kings, and ancient culture. Visiting My Son is like stepping back in time. It's an opportunity to reconnect with a civilization that thrived long before the modern Vietnamese state and to discover its rich history and culture.
My Son Sanctuary is open every day from 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM. The entry fee is around 150,000 VND for adults, with discounts available for children and students. If you want to make the most of your visit, consider a guided tour to get deeper insights into the history of the site.
