Myson Back-Roads Cycle

The tour starts with a short local ferry ride across the Thu Bon river to Cam Kim Island where we cycle through the quiet back roads and stop for a break at a local café to sample the famous Vietnamese sweet coffee. We continue cycling along the little used route to enjoy the beautiful scenery and sample local life. At My Son we visit the amazing temples of the Cham people to learn more about this Holy Land where the Cham people worshipped Shiva, the God of war. These magnificent structures were built of clay bricks by of the Chams between 4th – 13th century and it is unbelievable how these people constructed the temples with so few materials. My Son was always the religious heart of the Cham people and indeed, before and up to the 15th century, this unique site was as important as Ankor Wat. The site was originally made up of 75 temples but sadly only 20 temples survived the destruction of the war. After a lunch My Quang noodles at a local restaurant, you are transported back to Hoi An by minibus.
