Kick off your day trip with a visit to My Son, the former capital and religious hub of the Champa Kingdom, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nestled in a verdant valley, My Son boasts numerous red brick towers and sanctuaries dating from the 7th to the 13th century.
After exploring My Son, savour lunch at a local eatery in Hoi An before immersing yourself in the city’s rich history on foot. Once a bustling seaport from the 16th to 18th centuries, Hoi An is now an essential destination in Southeast Asia.
As you meander through the historic town, make several stops to visit key sites. These include the Hoi An Museum, renowned ancient houses showcasing remarkable architecture, and the Assembly Halls influenced by the Chinese culture. You'll also visit an art craft manufacturing workshop and the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge. These landmarks epitomise architectural styles in Hoi An and reflect the cultural fusion of France, Japan, China, and Vietnam.
Despite the passage of centuries and the challenges of nature, Hoi An remains a visually striking gem, preserving its ancient allure and serene beauty.
