Located in a rain forest like setting, the amazing complex of the My Son Sanctuary is certainly a highlight when visiting Hoi An in Vietnam. It will transport you from the busy Vietnam city life to a Jurassic park setting rich in history.
The grounds are a UNESCO world heritage site and it is marketed as the Angkor Wat of Vietnam. Though, having been to both it is certainly not as impressive as Angkor Wat in Cambodia. This largely due to the volatile history in the area which destroyed many of the temples.
I think everyone should visit My Son if they are in Hoi An or Da Nang. It is a great way to spend half a day learning about the Champa people and Hinduism. Though, you should think about what is the best way to get to My Son and explore it; whether that is going solo or taking a tour. Depending on your travel style and your true intentions in visiting this amazing site will result in what is the best for you.
