A day to see My Son and Hoi An tour! Visit My Son, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where old Cham towers stand among green trees. After lunch, walk around the old streets of Hoi An, its old houses and the Japanese Covered Bridge, and hear the stories behind them.
Tour Description:
We will kick off our day trip with a visit to My Son, the capital and religious center of the former Champa Kingdom, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In a green valley, My Son has dozens of red brick towers and sanctuaries from the 7th to the 13th century.
After exploring My Son, we will enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Hoi An before we walk around the old town. Once a thriving seaport from the 16th to 18th centuries, Hoi An is now a must-visit destination in Southeast Asia.
As we walk through the old town, we stop at the Hoi An Museum, some of the well-known old houses, and the Assembly Halls built by Chinese communities. We will also visit an Art Craft Manufacturing Workshop and the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge. These landmarks represent typical architectural styles in Hoi An and reflect the cultural fusion of France, Japan, China, and Vietnam.
Hoi An has been through floods and centuries of weather, and the old town still looks much as it did.
