My Son on Postcard

"The group then ventures off the plan and heads to My Son Sanctuary. What was it like to film there? You can feel the stillness and the history there. Its beauty is transcendent and very special. It feels pretty weird to have lighting equipment on an ancient temple—that juxtaposition is not lost on me. I felt just very grateful that they let us film there. I hope that people want to go check it out after seeing our movie."

"My Son A UNESCO World Heritage site in a mountain valley about 40 miles west of Da Nang, My Son is a vestige of the Champa kingdom, a culture that was heavily shaped by Hindu beliefs and practices. Built between the 4th and 14th centuries, the temples pay homage to the god Shiva, though the deity is often referred to here by different names. While some of the shrines are partially restored, and others overgrown with greenery or showing their age (many were destroyed by American bombing during the Vietnam War), the sheer scope of the ruins are proof of the reach of Hinduism and the lofty ambitions of the Cham kings."

It's a great place to understand the Champs historical. I came here on the first day of the year, therefore a "happy new year" performance there. The show is awesome, people were singing, dancing and playing musical instruments. Many thanks for it.

What a beautiful and peaceful place full of so much history! We took the motorbike here on a weekend afternoon from hoi an. It was a beautiful drive just getting here! It was wild to be in the presence of structures so ancient. Highly recommend a journey here. There is so much to take in.

I went on a Klook tour. The tour guide and driver gave excellent service. My Son is an enchanting place full of history. We are awed by its amazing architecture and were transported back to how this Holy Mountain came to place.

This is a Temple complex built by the Cham, or Champa, people from 900-1300AD. It has since been abandoned and mother nature took it back. What remains are a clue to the past. Although most structures are in ruin, one can easily see or imagine the beauty and grandeur of this complex. A definite must visit in Da Nang.

I'm so excited to learn more about the historic Hindu temples of Vietnam 🇻🇳. I've heard there are some beautiful examples of ancient architecture and spiritual significance. I'd love to explore these temples and learn about their history.

Did the early morning tour that took us at 5:30 from Hoi An. Booked it from GetYourGuide, paid around 30 usd including the entrance ticket. I recommend doing this tour at this time because there is no queue, the temple is empty and you can get great pictures the sunrise and the usual mist around.

My Son: A Historic Marvel My Son Sanctuary is a truly breathtaking site. The ancient Cham ruins are incredibly well-preserved and offer a fascinating glimpse into Vietnam's rich history. The intricate carvings and architecture are awe-inspiring. The surrounding landscape is also beautiful, with lush greenery and rolling hills. It's a peaceful and serene environment that adds to the overall experience. If you're interested in history or simply want to explore a stunning natural setting, My Son Sanctuary is a must-visit.

It was raining initially, we went with our tour guide, "handsome Lung" who has a great wealth of knowledge and stories about this place, at the end of going around, there's a cultural show at the main hall. It was a great experience.
