My Son is a cluster of abandoned and partially ruined Hindu temples constructed between the 4th and the 14th century A.D. In the morning: Our guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel. We travel about 50km from Hoi An to My Son sanctuary. My Son comprises many Cham temples, in a valley roughly two kilometers wide, surrounded by two mountain ranges.
