My Son Backroad Cycle Tour from Hoi An

This 60kms cycle trip is along mosty flat and quiet roads. We start with a short ferry ride across 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 view the amazing temples of the Cham people and learn more about this Holy Land where the Cham people worshipped Shiva, the God of war. These significant temples were built with clay bricks by of the Chams between 4th – 13th century and it is amazing how they were constructed with only few materials. This was the religious heart of the Cham people 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 The site was originally made up of 75 temples but sadly only 20 temples survived the destruction of the war.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 of My Quang noodles at a local restaurant, you are transported back to Hoi An by minibus.
