Hoi An to My Son Sanctuary By Private Car
Since this is a private car service, you have the freedom to choose your departure time. We recommend setting out early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the crowds and the heat. Along the way, if you need anything, our driver will be happy to assist.
My Son Sanctuary is home to over 70 temples and towers, each reflecting the distinct architectural styles of different periods of the Champa Kingdom. These styles are categorized into six main groups: ancient, Hoa Lai, Dong Duong, My Son, Po Nagar, and Binh Dinh. The structures are heavily influenced by Hinduism, evident in their design and decoration.
We highly recommend hiring a local guide at My Son Sanctuary to enrich your experience. They can share valuable insights about the site, including its various tower clusters, where each cluster has a main tower (known as Kalan) surrounded by smaller sub-towers. The temple peaks are shaped like pyramids, symbolizing Mount Meru, the mythical home of the Hindu gods. The towers face east to catch the first rays of sunlight, and the exterior walls are adorned with intricate sandstone sculptures of mythical creatures like Makara, Apsara dancers, lions, elephants, Garuda birds, and statues of praying men.
One of the most fascinating aspects of My Son Sanctuary is the craftsmanship in the decorative statues, which are so well-preserved that researchers still haven’t determined the adhesive used to bind the materials. My Son Sanctuary is not just an architectural masterpiece of the Champa civilization but also a significant cultural landmark in Southeast Asia.
Your guide will also share the rich history of the Champa Kingdom through ancient stories and mysterious secrets. While exploring My Son, you may also have the chance to witness the traditional Apsara dance, a royal dance of the Cham people performed as an offering to the gods and kings.
After your guided tour, you’ll have some free time to explore the sanctuary at your own pace and capture some stunning photos. When you’re ready, we’ll head back to the parking lot, and our private car will take you back to your hotel in Hoi An.
