My Son relic was discovered by the French in the 19th century, located in a valley surrounded by mountains and dense forests, from which many scientists, archaeologists come to study and discover the mysterious history of this thousand-year-old tower.

The reliefs and stone statues here partly show the beliefs and aspirations of the Cham people. Not to mention hundreds of stone steles filled with ancient characters are extremely valuable archaeological documents. Not as majestic as the Angkor temples (Cambodia), nor affected by the wave of tourism like the ancient town of Hoi An, but My Son still attracts many tourists by its very own contemplative features. In each brick, each bas-relief of dancing female dancers, each crumbling ancient tower... all seems to be telling faraway guests stories about a glorious past.
