🌞 Why Sunrise is the Best Time to Visit My Son

Visiting My Son Sanctuary in the early morning hours offers a completely different experience compared to mid-day trips:

✅ 1. Avoid the Crowds

From 9:30 AM onward, tourist buses arrive by the dozens. At sunrise, you’ll have the ruins mostly to yourself – peaceful and intimate.

✅ 2. Beat the Heat

Quang Nam can be scorching after 10 AM. Early morning offers cool, fresh air, perfect for exploring the grounds without sweating buckets.

✅ 3. Golden Hour for Photography

The low-angle sunlight illuminates moss-covered towers with warm hues. Expect dramatic contrasts, misty backgrounds, and incredible shots.

✅ 4. Magical Atmosphere

Walking through ancient temples with the sound of birds, rustling leaves, and rising mist makes the site feel truly sacred.

Recommended arrival time at My Son: 6:00 – 7:00 AM
Suggested departure from Da Nang/Hoi An: 5:00 – 5:30 AM
