Dawn pools in the valley as the minivan eases away from Hoi An; mist lifts from the green bowl that holds My Son’s red-brick towers and the first light paints bas‑reliefs warm. The early start is purposeful — you arrive ahead of the tour buses, listen to a guide trace the Cham inscriptions, and feel the forest pressing close as you walk from the electric car drop to the temple groups.
