Yes, My Son Sanctuary is just one hour away from Hoi An Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its lantern-lit architecture and covered bridges. It’s also just one hour away from the Marble Mountains, five limestone peaks home to sacred Buddhist caves and pagodas, and 1.5 hours away from the Hai Van Pass, an especially scenic stretch of road.

Central Vietnam’s climate falls under the tropical monsoon category, so it’s hottest from mid-January to mid-August. If you’re visiting during this time, arriving at My Son Sanctuary early is important to avoid the midday sun, as there’s little shade in the archeological site. The golden light on sunrise and sunset tours make your experience extra special.

When you come to My Son Sanctuary, bring plenty of water, as the site is exposed to the sun. Wear sun protection, a hat, and mosquito repellant, as the riverfront site attracts many insects. Plenty of stalls sell drinks, snacks, and souvenirs throughout the area.
