My Khe - Hoi An Inland
Distance: 250 kms
In terms of distance this is a short day and a pleasant uncomplicated ride. 20 kms longer if you continue up the coast to Danang.
If Hindu ruins are of any interest to you it can be a very big day though. I’m not much for pagodas and temples so choose to visit only the more elaborate and famous but I do find My Son interesting. You can literally spend hours exploring the various sites.
Some interesting stops of interest along the way but My Son is the area to spend the majority of your available time.
(A) if you get away early is a great coastline vantage point.
(B) a war museum but really just marked to get you the best way out over the A1.
(C&D) a few nice waterfalls and nature walks in this area. Bit of time required to get the best of it.
(E) some decent local food stops in this area
(F) My Son Group is a World Heritage listed archeological site. These Hindu temple ruins date back as far as the 4th century and in my opinion a must do. 150k entry fee and surprisingly very few tourists generally.
A golf cart takes you to site from the entrance then on foot and it can be hot so take water. The parking guys will mind your helmet and jacket. No Drones allowed apparently 🤫
Many restaurants around the area offer Be Thui. Rare cooked Veal wrapped in leaf with vegetable. Quite a treat and not often offered.
From there its a simple ride into Hoi An or Danang to your preferred accommodation. The maps destination is a very nice Aussie owned Boutique Hotel.
