My Son sheltered the spiritual center of the Champa Kingdom between the 4th and 13th centuries. Brick towers still stand in a jungle valley west of Da Nang.

History of the Cham Towers

Kings built temples to Hindu deities here; many were damaged by war and time. UNESCO listing protects the site — stay on paths and do not climb fragile structures.

Getting There from Da Nang

Road through countryside to My Son from Da Nang

The drive takes about 70–90 minutes. Organized tours include guides and AC transport; independent travelers can hire cars or motorbikes with caution on rural roads.

Morning Cham Dance Shows

Short cultural performances run on a schedule — check times at the visitor center. Arrive early to tour groups A and B before midday heat.

What to Bring

Sunscreen, hat, water, and insect repellent. Most walking is flat but exposed — umbrellas are sold at the gate if rain threatens.

Combining with Marble Mountains

Fit My Son morning with Marble Mountains afternoon only if you start very early — otherwise dedicate a full half-day to each site to avoid rushing.
