You climb into the van at first light, rice paddies sliding past as the coast shrinks behind you and the road fingers inland toward a forested ridge. At My Son the air smells of earth and old stone; squat brick towers rise from the green like pages of a history book left open. Later, the cable car pulls you above a sea of cloud and pine, and a bronze bridge appears—two giant hands lifting a strip of gold toward the sky.

Start before the crowds
Request an early pickup—My Son is quieter in the morning and Ba Na looks best before afternoon haze; it helps avoid long cable car lines.
Wear good footwear
Temple ruins have uneven brickwork and steps; closed-toe shoes with good grip make both My Son and Ba Na easier and safer to explore.
Pack for variable mountain weather
Bring a lightweight rain jacket and a warm mid-layer—the summit can be cool and suddenly misty even on otherwise warm days.

Sturdy walking shoes
Protects footing on uneven temple bricks and paved but sometimes slippery Ba Na pathways.
Light rain jacket or wind shell
