Yet, the serenity seems not to be disturbed. This creates a taciturn picture of the old town. Houses in Hoi An look like a pipe, including three parts: business area, living area, and worshiping one. Each work has wooden structures, yin-yang tiled roof, and tiled or stone ground. In front of the entrance, there are two round wooden door handle shaped yin-yang or tiger face. Minh An, Cam Pho and Son Phong wards are places where tourists can admire the outstanding architectural style.
My Son Sanctuary is situated in Duy Phu commune, Duy Xuyen district, Quang Nam province, about 69 km from Da Nang City and around 20 km from Tra Kieu ancient capital. It is the complex of numerous Champa tower-temples in a valley roughly two kilometers wide, surrounded by two mountain ranges. This used to be a site of religious ceremony for kings of the ruling dynasties of Champa, as well as a burial place for Cham royalty and national heroes. My Son Sanctuary is regarded as one of the main religious centers of Hinduism in Southeast Asia and is the only heritage in term of temple in Vietnam. With more than 70 architectural remains built from the 7th century to the 13th century, My Son becomes the most important architectural center of Champa Kingdom.
