One of the most stunning sights to see in the Hoi An area is My Son; Vietnam’s most important site of the ancient kingdom of Champa. As of 2000, My Son has become a Unesco World Heritage site.
During the centuries when Tra Kieu (then known as Simhapura) served as the political capital of the kingdom of Champa; My Son was the site of the most important Cham intellectual and religious centre; and also may have served as a burial place for Cham monarchs. My Son is considered to be Champa`s smaller counterpart to the grand cities of Southeast, Asia`s other Indian-influenced civilizations: Angkor (Cambodia); Bagan (Myanmar); Ayuthaya (Thailand); and Borobudur (Java).
The monuments are set in a verdant valley surrounded by hills and overlooked by the massive Cat`s Tooth Mountain (Hon Quap). Clear streams run between the structures and past nearby coffee plantations. less «
