A morning begins on a country road outside Hoi An, the jeep's suspension bumping over rice-dyke tracks as the valley ahead opens like a held breath. Palm-fringed fields slide past, and the road funnels you toward a low basin where brick towers rise from the jungle. At My Son, the air carries the scent of wet earth and old mortar; the ruins sit quietly, as if still counting the years of rain.
