The My Son Sanctuary's ancient ruins and the riverside charm of Hoi An are two of Vietnam's most beautiful places. My Son is a UNESCO World Heritage site that gives a hauntingly beautiful look into the spiritual life of the Champa Kingdom. Its weathered red-brick temples are a testament to centuries of history. A dedicated guide can help you really appreciate the intricate art and religious significance of this site hidden in the jungle.
The lantern-lit town of Hoi An is only a short drive away, and things move more slowly there. You can float down the Thu Bon River in a traditional rowing boat and look at the unique golden buildings that line the banks. The mix of history and peace at the Thanh Ha Pottery Village or the nearby beach makes for a travel experience that feels both very personal and very real.
Hanoi, the heart of Vietnam, is a city where ancient traditions and modern energy coexist beautifully.
