My Son Sanctuary Travel Guide

A Quick Introduction

Within a forest valley surrounded by mountains, My Son sanctuary played its role as a Hindu holy land of Champa kingdom, from 4th to 13rd centuries. It comprises around 70 towers but because of many reasons, only 20 standing today. Dedicated to worship of the Shiva, God of destroying and recreation, the name of this complex was made from the name of the god and reigning emperors. Instead of crowds of pilgrims and prayers, only a limited number of people were allowed to be here. Since it was abandoned, its link with religion and kings was cut. Thanks to retaining the best examples of Champa architecture, Unesco recognized My Son sanctuary as a world heritage in 1999. Now, it’s among the most stunning historical attractions to visit in Central Vietnam.

Name of My Son Sanctuary and its Temples

Nobody knows which words Champa kingdom’s inhabitants used to call My Son sanctuary, even their descendants today. After 14^th century, Viet people from the north handed over the land, but they had no idea about the existence of the temples. When it’s rediscovered in 19^th century, French tagged this archaeological site as My Son, name of a village nearby. My Son means “the beautiful mountain” (not my son!) and maybe, locals hint at the Cat Tooth mount which visitors can see from the sanctuary.

On the other hand, the French also classified and named every group of temples and its individuals. To remember easier, letters in the Latin alphabet were used, from A to M. Name of each temple starts with the letter of its group, and a number behind. For example, Group A includes A1, A2 and more. Easy for scientists but not for commoners, the name of the groups is nicknamed, basing on their features. Sometimes people can’t explain why they call that. Market, Pagoda, Chessboard, Starfruit Crater are nicknames for major clusters.

My Son Sanctuary’s Nature Reserve

My Son’s temples are surrounded by forests that extend up to the peak of Cat Tooth Mountain, nearly 1,000 hectares in the latest documents. In 2020, the Vietnamese government made a decision to establish My Son nature reserve to preserve a high biodiversity. It’s home of 240 flora species, 40 animals and many others. Illegal access, hunting, poaching, and putting traps are all banned. 

My Son Sanctuary Facts

– My Son, Champa’s capital and trading port stands in the same line on the map. This was realized by sir Vuong, a leading historian when he standed on top of Tra Kieu church’s hill. Since then, “the axis” has been used to discover the places never known before.

– In the past, monks and prayers accessed My Son holy land by the stream that is to the left of buggy transfer. Materials (stone) used to build some important temples were transported by dams on it too.

Therefore, the best times to explore its temples are in the morning and late afternoon when the midday heat has not really come or just passed. Lots of visitors choose to arrive in the early morning in high seasons, to avoid the crowds. Before the darkness falls, a visit in the sunset is more special.

Champa Kingdom (4th to 13rd centuries)

For 900 years, My Son Sanctuary has been a holy land of the whole Champa kingdom. The Hindu-followed state flourished from the 2nd to 19th centuries along the Central coast of Vietnam. According to old memorial steles, this holy land was dedicated to worship of the Shiva “God of destroying and recreation”. Kings and monks held ceremonies here all year around until 14^th century.

In 1306, Che Man king gave the land to Viet people to marry with a Vietnamese princess. Basically, he meant to build up relationships to keep the peace for his country, before impending invasions from Mongolian. Because of being too close to new frontiers, Cham emperors and people moved the capital further down South. So, My Son has been abandoned since then.

Location of My Son Sanctuary is carefully-selected by the emperors. It’s perfect for both religious meanings and military purposes. During the conflicts, if the kings felt dangerous, they would come to this to hide. Distance from the seat of power to here is just 30 kilometers. About religious relations, the sanctuary is within a valley that represents a Yoni and at the foot of Cat Tooth Mountain which symbolizes a Linga.

One small stream has its source from the mountain, flows through the sanctuary and finally flows into Thu Bon River. That river symbolizes the holy Ganges river in India. Thanks to rising up to 700 meters, the Cat Tooth mountain can be visible from the sea, and so the merchants see it as a landmark to come in the kingdom’s port. Its shape is like the head of Garuda bird, the pet of Vishnu god. 

Rediscovery of My Son Temples

In 1885, a group of French soldiers discovered My Son’s temples in the jungle by mistake. Soon after, the sanctuary became a great attention to historians and archaeologists. However, because of remote location, bombs and wild environment, the excavations were not carried out yet. 7 years later, the Governor-General of French Indochina gave money to invest in excavations all over Central Vietnam.  

In 1903 and 1904, Henri Parmentier, reigning director of the French School of the Far East and a prominent sculptor Charles Carpeaux, were two leaders of first large-scale explorations. During this time, these academic scientists left many paintings, stories, information and photos that are priceless today. Thanks to their works, some fallen temples were documented and easier to be reconstructed. After returning to the capital, he wrote two books: “Monuments in the Valley of My Son” and “Cham monuments in Central Vietnam”. In 1915, valued sculptures were moved to Da Nang to preserve better and much of them have been staying there until now.

My Son Sanctuary in Vietnam War

From 1968 to 1975, My Son’s mountains were hiding places of Vietcong (Vietnam communists), including leaders of the Quang Nam-Da Nang province. In history books, the area is called “Hon Tau revolution base”. For that reason, the American air forces dropped bombs here many times. Official documents indicate around 10 people who died while being in the cave. In 1972, the tallest tower A1 Temple was destructed by B52 bomb, and the action was harshly condemned by historians globally. When the war ends, daily people found 300 to 400 bombs in the sanctuary, and some are exhibited in a small gallery. Today, visitors still see bomb craters by E and F temples.

In the Post War

In 1981, Kazimierz Kwiatkowski, a Polish architect and conservationist arrived in Vietnam to save ruins in My Son Sanctuary. He stayed by the temples where he worked daily for 12 years, until 1994. Facing difficulties in different climate, bombings and dangers from the forests, this passionate man instructed to remove vegetations from the towers, support leaning structures and document art and architecture. In 1991, a sponsor from the Vietnam-Poland partnership project was cut, and he asked for fundings by himself to continue the work. A fund from Germany was made and then, two small galleries were established to store artifacts. Both are still in operation up to date. Because of amazing contributions, locals nicknamed him Kazik. In 1999, My Son was added to the Unesco world heritage site list, but he passed away suddenly. Local authorities placed a statue for him in Hoi An old town. 

My Son’s Temples

Group B, C and D

In the heart of My Son Sanctuary, this group includes 27 buildings, making it become the largest cluster. Because of that, locals call it “the market temple”. The most important temple is the Stone temple (C1) which is believed to be the earliest-built in the sanctuary (about 4^th century). Its material also makes it unique throughout the history of the kingdom, the only stone temple we know up to date. Dedicated to Shiva god, it features tall columns with a style similar to Greek temples. Historians are still finding answers for any links between two cultures. For them, stone blocks were transported by a network of dams in nearby streams. By the entrance to its praying space, visitors can see a sandstone stele with many intricately-carved Cham inscriptions.

To the west of Stone temple, there is another Shiva temple, but in the interior, a God statue stands on the Yoni, instead of a Linga as usual. For security reasons, the French brought the statue to Cham Museum in Da Nang, so today visitors only see a Yoni. In front of Stone temple, a stone bath where the water used for ceremonies is still seen. Formerly, the water must come from the stream nearby which represents Ganges River. A few meters away, the best wall decoration (on a temple) boasts of women sculptures wearing traditional sarong.

Group D has two long houses (called Mandapa) where pilgrims and monks meditate and prepare offspring before walking in the God temple. Polish archaeologists renovated them in the 1980s and converted them to house small exhibitions.  

Group A – “The Pagoda Group”

From the Central group, walk across the stream and turn right, the visitors will see ruins of Group A. Within an enclosed wall, Cham emperors built nearly 20 small to large temples here, including the largest tower in the entire My Son sanctuary (A1). When the French rediscovered the area, they still saw it and painted its glorious architecture and decorations in detail then. According to them, its height is 24 meters. More special than other surrounding Hindu temples, two entrances are designed (instead of only one), opening to the East and West. Unfortunately, in 1972, bombs dropped by the American air forces destructed almost everything. Nowadays, reconstruction projects have been ongoing, in collaboration with Indian masters to return the glamour to it.  

Group G

Temples of Group G stand on a hilltop, so visitors need to walk upstairs from the main trail. Constructed in the end of 12nd century, its Central temple was reconstructed incompletely by the Italian government’s sponsor, from 2003 to 2013. This is the first reconstruction in the whole of My Son by new techniques. President of the Unesco attended to congratulate the success. About the architecture, it doesn’t follow the traditional layout that has three entrances instead of one. Around it, visitors can see four other remains and featured Cham performances.   

Group E and F – “Bomb Crater Temple”

Keeping walking along the main trail, the visitors will have the chance to see the most complete reconstructed temple in My Son. That is E7 temple and its function is still in secret. Featuring a new appearance resulting from Italian-developed techniques, it draws many visitors to talk photos with. Not far from, the Central temple becomes a ruin caused by abandonment, forests and bombings. Bomb creaters were visible in its surroundings. The pedestal (altar) where God statues are placed now has been preserved in Da Nang’s Cham Museum of Sculpture.

In 2012, a 7^th-century Mukhalinga was found after a heavy rain here, among the rarest of the kind in the world. That’s simply a sandstone Linga with the head of the king. Recently, one of the largest pedestals was unearthed also. Both now are national treasures, but the first is kept in My Son Museum while the second stands in-situ.

To the north, the largest temple of F group now is vulnerable and facing the downfall anytime. It’s built around 8^th century and in current situation because of forests during the abandonment and bombings. Archeologists established a metal roof and many supporters to keep it standing. A well-thought-out solution to save is not made yet, after nearly two decades.

Group H

Including 4 towers, remains of this group can be seen to the left of the main trail leading to My Son sanctuary. Excavations and reconstruction works were carried out by Indian and Vietnamese masters, from 2016 to 2019. All of its structures are arranged in a West-to-East axis, within an enclosure.

Group K

This group of temples is halfway from E and F temples to the buggy station, to the left. Built in 11st and 12nd centuries, it has recently been reconstructed with partnership between India and Vietnam. During the excavations, remains of “royal road” were found. Archaeologists said that might serve the emperor and his family members in festivals.

Cham Traditional Performances

Awesome Cham traditional art show is a must, to watch during the visit to My Son Sanctuary. It’s available at 9:15 a.m, 10:45 a.m, 2 p.m and 3:30 p.m daily. Within around a half of an hour, the artists may perform musical instruments and dancings in the festival, flexible Apsara dance or impressive performance of long lute. Visitors are advised to be in the public stage 10 minutes before the showtime, to find their own seatings. If aiming to see it right after arriving, time well your transportation.    

My Son Museum and Exhibitions

After the ticket check, My Son Museum is the first attraction. Featuring a brick architecture designed and sponsored by Japanese, the history of My Son sanctuary and Champa kingdom is quickly told here. It owns two exhibitions, to either side of the main walkway. The left one a general scene of the holy land, contacts between its owners and the world and early features of temples. This space houses the copy of Mukhalinga, a national treasure and among the rarest of the kind worldwide. Protected by a glass box, the sandstone sculpture depicts a Linga with the king’s head. Historians guess that it’s topped with one gold cover originally. The gallery to the right reveals the meaning of different animal decorations and knowledge about My Son Unesco world heritage. If you would like to deepen your understanding of Cham techniques in building towers, sit back here and enjoy the video.   

The Tower of My Son Sanctuary (Extra)

The French said that Cham people are masters in making brick buildings and sculptures in South-east Asia. Their opinion is proved by the tower of My Son Sanctuary. A brick used to construct a tower is just a half of the usual brick in weight. But its life is much longer, undoubtedly. Two bricks are connected to each other, by a hidden material that doesn’t allow water to come in empty space and vegetation growth. Unfortunately, descendants today have no ideas about. Somebody thinks that Cham builders used a combination between brick power, water and milk of a native plant. Archaeologists tried in some rescontructions because this is most feasible. To easier form the tower, bricks are unbaked and after the whole building looks perfect, the builders would burn it all. Amazingly, visitors must know the fact that the thickness of the base wall is smaller than the top.

A group of Cham temples includes at least three towers: the main (called Kalan), a longhouse (Mandapa) and the gate (Gorupa). The main entrance traditionally faces East where the sun rises and life begins, and is small to allow a few people to enter. Three other sides are decorated by sculptures and faked windows. Light comes inside the praying space from the hole from the roof.

My Son Temple Vietnam Shivling (Extra)

Linga and Yoni are a couple of objects that Cham people place in the temple and worship. As a whole, it symbolizes growth, power and development. Individually, the Linga is a representation of Shiva god, in the shape of a penis. Always being below the Linga, the Yoni represents the female form of Shiva god, in the shape of a vulva. This pair also expresses a harmonization between men and women that balance the world. Faucet of the Yoni usually faces North, because the direction brings fortune and indicates the location of Ganges river.  

In My Son sanctuary, visitors can see many Linga and Yoni, in the interior and exterior of temples. Generally, it’s visible in most central temples. In the past, emperors and Hindu monks took the water from Khe The stream, to preserve it in a stone bath near the Stone temple. Then, the water was poured down from the top of Linga and flowed around the basin of Yoni, and through the gutter of the faucet to a pot. “Holy water” was used for many purposes later, including for drinking.
