My Son Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

The My Son site is located more than 40 kilometers west of Hoi An. It is the largest religious site in the ancient Champa kingdom in Vietnam, and is known as "Vietnam's Angkor Wat". The Cham people built Hindu temples here as early as the fourth century. In the centuries that followed, the Cham people continued to expand, making it the religious land of the Cham kingdom. It is one of the oldest ruins in Southeast Asia. It was not destroyed by the Nguyen Dynasty in Vietnam until the end of the seventeenth century with the decline of the Champa Kingdom, so it was gradually abandoned. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Western archaeologists came to study the history of the Cham ethnic group, so it was protected and included in the World Heritage List. The site is built in a lush valley surrounded by mountains. About 70 Hindu temples have been built in the whole valley. The Champa's pagoda is built with red bricks. Although it is not tall, it is complex in style, reflecting the Hindu style. It is also because compared with the giant city built with boulders - Angkor Temple in Cambodia, it can't stand the test of wind and rain. It is more corroded and damaged, and some places are overgrown with weeds; Also the more, some of the carvings are better preserved.

Quite interesting site if you want to experience Cham culture. Unfortunately it's mostly ruins. Quite a bit of walking but at least there's a free shuttle to the site from the entrance (saves 2K).150,000 entrance fee.5,000 motorbike parking.

The Meishan site is located in Meishan Village, Weifu Township, Weichuan County, Guangnan Province, Vietnam, 60 kilometers southwest of Da Nang City. The beautiful mountains surrounded by forests and green waters are the most important sacred sites left by the once prosperous Zhanpo Kingdom, where the construction of towers, stone carving art and aesthetics of the Zhanpo people have been most perfected.

A beautiful temple complex quite easily accessible from Hoi An and Danang. It does get *very* hot, so come prepared. There's crazy amount of history here, so might be worth getting a guide. Definitely a must see.

The Meyama Holy Land is one of the world cultural heritages of Central Vietnam, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the Vietnam War, similar to Angkor Wat!

Meishan Site, Langang is a famous scenic spot. It's called Little Angkor Wat, but because of the war, it's totally different. But if you look carefully, you can still see that it must have been a place of great fragrance before. Some sculptures are still beautiful. Some sculptures are incomplete, but they can not hide the glory of the past. Anyone interested in archaeology must like this place, which is said to represent the history of Vietnam.
