Vietnam Trip, Day 9 | My Son, a UNESCO World Heritage Site

For the morning I organized a half-day trip to My Son. Surrounded by jungle, the My Son temples were constructed between the 4th and the 14th century A.D., which is older than Angkor Wat. 8-O But don’t expect too much, as the complex is only about 100 square meters and most of the temples were destroyed by the Americans in the Vietnam war. It’s still worth seeing though and spending a couple of hours in the ruins. If you do go though, then go really early! We were at the site at around 9 a.m. (departure from our hotel was 7 a.m.) and the temples were some what crowded by tourists. And remember, I was visiting this site off season too. Most hotels offer different times to go to My Son, so take the earliest possible bus in order to get some good photo shooting opportunities. If you’re curious, then take I look at some of the photos I shot.

Once I was back from my trip to My Son, I didn’t do much, besides stroll the streets of Hoi An, which I would describe as a mixture of Heidelberg fused with Japanese and Chinese architecture.
