One of the most remarkable treasures in the Hoi An region is My Son, a site of immense historical importance as the spiritual center of the ancient Champa kingdom. From the 4th to the 13th century, this coastal area was the birthplace of a unique culture heavily influenced by Indian Hinduism.

This cultural heritage is vividly exemplified by an impressive collection of tower-temples situated in a breathtaking valley, a site that served as the religious and political capital of the Champa Kingdom for the majority of its existence. These temples, initially constructed from wood, were entirely consumed by fire during the 6th century but were meticulously reconstructed in the 7th century by Sambhuvarman, who ingeniously used locally produced bricks. By the 13th century, more than 70 similar temples were built, solidifying My Son as a sanctuary of Hinduism within the Champa Kingdom.
