Vietnam 🇻🇳 | Hoi An – My Son Sanctuary

My Son Sanctuary, a UNESCO World Heritage site about an hour from Hoi An, is the focus of this half-day tour vlog. The complex, older than Angkor Wat, was the spiritual and political heart of the Cham Kingdom, with structures dating from the 4th to 14th centuries. Over 70 temples once stood, but many were lost to time and bombing during the Vietnam War. The creator booked a small-group tour (10–12 people) through their hotel for about 30 SGD, which included a guide, transport, and a boat ride back to Hoi An. They recommend hiring a guide at the entrance to learn about the history and restoration projects. Practical tips include visiting in the morning for cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, wearing a hat and comfortable walking shoes, and bringing sunscreen. The video also briefly samples a bird's nest drink from a rest stop.
