Our day starts with a drive to the UNESCO World Heritage sites of My Son
As you draw closer to My Son, which translates literally as "Beautiful Mountain" the condition of the road begins to become more adventurous and the last few kilometers of track are often rutted and potholed. On arriving at the My Son area you will take a short 500m walk through lush hillsides, trees and brush, before emerging into the main site.
There were over 70 classic Cham monuments at My Son, dating from the 7th - 13th Centuries. Set against the backdrop of the appropriately named Cat's Tooth Mountain, they would then have been an awesome sight. Until 1968 they remained, remarkably, in almost perfect condition, having been sheltered from the worst excesses of weather by the surrounding hills. Your guide will offer full commentary on the Cham heritage of My Son whilst you wander at will around this most historic site. We leave the UNESCO site of My Son and head out to our lunch address before visiting Hoi An.
The unique trading town of Hoi An was a civilization cut off by destroyed rail lines and a silted river, leaving it untouched by war and frozen in time. See architecture reminiscent of traders of a bygone era - Japanese, French, Chinese, and Indian, as well as beautifully preserved ancient houses. No cars are allowed to pass through Hoi An, rendering it an excellent walking village. Visit the unique 420-year-old Japanese covered bridge and a Chinese communal house. Shop for art at one of the numerous galleries and enjoy the riverside ambience. You will also see how local residents raise silkworms and produce silk for Hoi An's burgeoning textile industry.
After this afternoon walking tour, we will transfer you back to your hotel. An excellent 9-10 hours of seeing some of Vietnam’s most well-known UNESCO World Heritage sites.
