The experience

Hotel pickup at 8 a.m. from Da Nang or Hoi An takes you to My Son Sanctuary, a UNESCO World Heritage site built across centuries by the Cham people. You spend two hours walking the temple grounds, where your guide points out how the Cham built these structures, tower-temples decorated in bas-relief, without using mortar. The temples were constructed and rebuilt from the 4th century through the 13th century, and the site sits in a valley surrounded by jungle. Your guide explains the Champa Kingdom's history and its relationship to these remains, so you understand what you're standing in front of, not just what it looks like.

After My Son, you head to Hoi An City for lunch featuring local food. The afternoon walking tour takes you through the ancient old town, another UNESCO site. You explore the back alleys to see the real Hoi An beyond the main streets, with stops at Phuc Kien Assembly Hall, Tan Ky Ancient commercial house, the Japanese covered bridge, and the cultural and historical museum. If you prefer, you can take free time instead of the full walking tour. The day ends with a return to your hotel.
