In Duy Phuoc village, Duy Xuyen district, Quang Nam province, at My Son valley, there is still a most important complex of Hindu temple-towers which is a symbol of ChamPa art and continuosly developed from the 4th  century to the 13th century.

The ancient ChamPa people were raised to be “the masters of artin building brick”. So far the technique in building the ancient temple-towers of ChamPa people remains controversial. The brick were smoothed and laid closely and securely without mortar. My Son’s value is also refected in the art of lively and fine sculpture and carving on brick,stone from the images of deties,priests,dances,plants,animals and sacrifices....

Because of its prominent value as an example of cultural exxhange and integration of external cultures,especially the art and architecture of Hinduism with the native culture,combined with lively refection of the ChamPa Kingdom in south east asia cultural history,in december 1999,Unesco listed  My Son a world cultural heritage.

ITINERARY:

In the morning, your tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Hoi An Town and transfer to visit My Son Holy see, Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the temple complex of My Son is set in a dense, vegetated valley beneath Hon Cat or Cat’s Tooth Mountain. Although centuries of pillage and more recent bombings have taken their toll, the ruins provide a glimpse into a fascinating Indianized culture. Evocative as the complex is, the groups of monuments are rather unimaginatively named after letters of the alphabet.

Back to Hoi An for lunch. After the relax, it is light excursion to go around tiny town of Hoi An for city tour: 400 years old Japanese Bridge, 300 years old Chinese temple, 200 years old Vietnamese former merchants' house. Cycling around the town before coming back to your hotel. Tour end at about 16.30 pm.
