Late afternoon light thins across a low valley of palms and scrub—shadows lengthen between brick towers that have stood since the Cham kingdom. A private transfer eases from Hoi An’s bustle into rural lanes; by the time guests step out they’re met with a cathedral of stone, vines, and the hush of a site that invites close attention rather than hurried photos.
