Hoian Ancient Town & My Son Holy Land General Information:
Located on the north bank of ThuBonRiver, the historic town of Hoi An was an important trading port from the 16th century to the 18th century.
Attracting traders from China, Japan, and even Europe, the town acquired a rich cultural heritage, rivaled by few other cities in Vietnam. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999, Hoi An features long, narrow tube houses, Chinese pagodas and ornate community halls, family shrines, and the JapaneseCovered Bridge. There is also a recently restored small French-colonial quarter southeast of Hoi An.
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the temple complex of My Son is set in a dense, vegetated valley beneath Hon Cat or Cat’s Tooth Mountain.
Although centuries of pillage and more recent bombings have taken their toll, the ruins provide a glimpse into a fascinating Indianized culture. Evocative as the complex is, the groups of monuments are rather unimaginatively named after letters of the alphabet. The most important edifices at Group B are reached first, while Group C is less well preserved. To the east, the halls of Group D house displays of Cham sculpture, while Group E, F, G, and H require some imagination to truly appreciate.
