Malaysian discovers old world sanctuary in My Son, Vietnam


The writer and his friends and family visited My Son in Vietnam last year. — DR OH SEONG POR

Last October, I joined my old buddies and their families for a free-and-easy tour in Danang, a coastal city off central Vietnam.

A place I was looking forward to visit was My Son, the ancient shrine of Champa Kingdom. My Son is located about 70km southwest of Danang. To get there, we took a 10-seater van and hired a local English-speaking guide who introduced himself as John.
