Cham Heritage and Marble Mountains in One Day from Hoi An

The Hoi An, My Son, Non Nuoc and back to Hoi An programme

From 8:00 to 18:00, starting and ending at your Hoi An hotel, this day pairs My Son Sanctuary with the Non Nuoc area at the foot of the Marble Mountains, so the day has two halves of a different kind: one half sightseeing an outdoor monument site, the other visiting a craft village.

Ask for the drive time of each leg when you book; rush hour and weather can stretch the day.

The My Son site’s hours

My Son is open from 6:00 to 17:00 daily, with Cham dance performances at 9:45, 10:30, 11:15, 14:00 and 16:00. Reach the ticket pavilion well before 16:00. Three to 4 hours at the sanctuary is a sensible guide, which leaves the afternoon for Non Nuoc.

The Non Nuoc stone village is a craft village, different from the scenic area

The Non Nuoc stone craft village at the foot of the Marble Mountains is workshops and shops, different from the scenic area, which is the peaks and caves. The village arose more than 300 years ago and was recognised as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2014. We found no official source on tickets, hours or whether workshops charge to watch, so ask on the spot; see the Non Nuoc stone carving village and how long to spend at the Marble Mountains. If you plan to buy something large in stone, say so when you book because whether the car can carry it depends on the 4-, 7- or 16-seat vehicle and the number and size of the bags.

How the day goes (an illustration)

• 8:00: the car collects you in Hoi An (cars can enter the gates of hotels and resorts to pick up and drop off).
• Morning: My Son, staying 3 to 4 hours by the figure; lunch is a stop not.
• Afternoon: a stop at Non Nuoc with the time left, then back to Hoi An; the legs are not listed separately, so ask when you send your request. The frame ends at 18:00.

If you stay in the pedestrian area of the old town, meet at a point outside the restricted area as in where to meet your car in Hoi An at night.

Not included in the rate

• What is not covered: admission fees for My Son and Marble Mountains caves, midday meals; unplanned scenic detours or service stretching past 18:00 will be confirmed with a separate quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is one day enough for both My Son and the Non Nuoc stone village?

On the car side, yes within the 8:00 to 18:00 frame, but My Son alone takes 3 to 4 hours. State the time you want at each place so dispatch can confirm.

What sets the stone village apart from the scenic area?

The craft village is workshops and shops at the foot of the mountains where you watch stone being chiselled and ground; the scenic area is peaks and caves for walking and climbing steps. They are next to each other but serve different purposes.

Can the car carry a large stone statue I want to buy?

It depends on the 4-, 7- or 16-seat vehicle and on the number and size of the group’s bags. Ask the workshop about packing and shipping, then say so when you book so dispatch can confirm.

Does the tour price include My Son entry?

No. The price is for transport on the programme; entry to the site and performance tickets are charged by the managing body.
