6. My Son Sanctuary
My Son Sanctuary was the capital of the Champa Kingdom during the 4th and 5th centuries. The holy site of My Son is a vast complex of religious monuments containing over 70 original buildings, of which only 25 monuments remains intact today. My Son Sanctuary is the best example of Vietnamese Cham architecture influenced by Indian styles, with most temples facing east, the direction of the sun, due to the belief that the east is where the gods reside. Although their masterpieces have been severely damaged by weather and vegetation encroachment, they still mark a glorious era in the architecture and culture of Cham and Southeast Asia. To this day, the mystery remains shrouded in mystery. The question is how and with what materials were the Cham people able to glue these fired red bricks together to form such a solid structure?
I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam – that a woman’s voice can drug you, that everything is so intense. The colors, the taste, even the rain.

Unlike other parts of Vietnam, the Mekong Delta is an attractive blend of lush rice fields and winding rivers. Whether planted firmly on land or floating along poetic rivers, the region is filled with wildlife, historic sites, and stunning scenery. Locals call it the Mekong Delta, or ‘Nine Dragon” River. The Mekong River he divides into nine different tributaries and flows through lowlands before emptying into the sea.
Life here is much slower and often surrounded by water. It’s no surprise that visitors encounter the Mekong Delta’s aquatic-adapted homes, farms, and markets. Normally you can take one day tour for tour near Saigon. Or need at least 1 night or 2 nights on Mekong Delta to discover its hidden charm.
