Wear grippy shoes
Stairs and uneven limestone surfaces at Marble Mountains and packed-earth paths at My Son demand closed-toe shoes with traction.

Carry a refillable bottle and sip frequently—the mid-day sun makes the climbs and open ruins more taxing than distance alone.
Carry local cash
Bring small Vietnamese đồng for souvenirs, tips and snacks in village stalls that don’t accept cards.
Respect sacred sites
Dress modestly when entering pagodas and temple areas—cover shoulders and knees to show cultural respect.
