On the road from Danang to Hoian visit five sacred hills known as the Marble Mountains containing dozens of Buddhist shrines.

 

On arrival in Hoi An transfer to hotel. Hoi An was a major Asian trading port in the 17th and 198th centuries and its architecture and relaxed lifestyle have changed little over the years.

A half-day trip to visit the capital and religious center of the former Champa Kingdom named My Son.

On the way back to Hoi An stop to visit Tra Kieu, formerly known as Simhapura or the Lion Citadel, the capital of Champa between the 4th and 8th centuries.
