My Son Sanctuary ticket price in 2026 and the planned rise

My Son Sanctuary ticket price (quick answer)

The price page says both prices include the sightseeing fee and the service charge. The online counter labels the cheaper ticket for visitors with Vietnamese nationality, so a foreign passport holder buys the VND 148,000 ticket.

The child price comes from the board's visitor guide, dated 29 June 2020. The online counter offers only the two adult tickets.

What the My Son ticket covers

The visitor guide lists four things in the entrance ticket:

1. the My Son museum,
2. the electric shuttle,
3. the Cham folk performances,
4. the temple ruins themselves.

A guide at the site is extra. It costs VND 100,000 per guide ticket, and the number of tickets depends on group size: one ticket for one to five visitors, two for six to 15, and three for 16 to 30. You arrange it at the electric shuttle stop. For two people sharing a guide, that is VND 50,000 each, by our arithmetic.

A UNESCO film on My Son Sanctuary, made with NHK, shows the temple groups the ticket covers.

Opening hours and show times

The site opens for visits from 06:00 to 18:00. The ticket office sells from 06:00 to 17:00, and the museum is open 06:00 to 17:00. Both prices are in dong; if you need cash on the way, our Vietnam ATM fees guide compares five banks' charges for a foreign card.

Cham folk performances run at fixed times:

Cham folk singing is on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, at 09:00 and 14:45 on the slope at tower H. The board says shows are paused in bad weather.

Is the My Son Sanctuary ticket price going up?

Possibly, but not yet at the counter. In February 2026 the board's director told the culture newspaper Bao Van Hoa that the board was studying a single price of VND 250,000 for Vietnamese and foreign visitors alike. The plan was to bring it to the Da Nang city council in the first quarter of 2026, or early in the second quarter at the latest. The same article says the current prices were set 10 years ago, at VND 100,000 and VND 150,000.

On 11 February 2026 the Da Nang city council did pass a resolution on sightseeing fees. It sets the sightseeing fee at My Son at VND 40,000 per person per visit, the same for Vietnamese and foreign visitors. The ticket price is that fee plus a service charge, so the VND 40,000 is only part of what you pay.

A second resolution, 98/2026/NQ-HĐND, dated 31 July 2026 and in force from 10 August 2026, kept the My Son fee at VND 40,000 per person per visit, again the same for Vietnamese and foreign visitors. The Da Nang city portal and the newspaper Nhan Dan both reported it. It renames the site "Khu đền tháp Mỹ Sơn" (My Son temple complex) in the fee list. Neither report mentions the ticket price.

The February resolution also lists people who pay no sightseeing fee, including children under 16, school pupils and Vietnamese citizens aged 60 and over. The pages we read do not say whether children under 16 still pay the service part of the ticket.

On 12 October 2026, two months after that resolution took effect, the price page still listed VND 150,000 and VND 100,000 and the online counter still listed VND 148,000 and VND 99,000. If you visit later, check the counter before you rely on these numbers.

Discounts during festivals

The board runs short promotions. In April 2026 it told Tuoi Tre that women wearing the traditional ao dai would not pay the sightseeing fee during the Ao Dai festival. From 26 April to 3 May, Vietnamese visitors who bought five tickets got a sixth free. These offers were for those dates only.

Getting to My Son from Hoi An

The board gives its address as Thu Bon commune, Da Nang city, and UNESCO listed My Son as a World Heritage Site in 1999. If you are staying in Hoi An, plan both tickets together: the Hoi An ancient town ticket article covers the old town's fees. The board's own about page puts My Son 45 km from Hoi An Ancient Town and 68 km from Da Nang city. Flights land at Da Nang, as set out in closest airport to Hoi An. If you are going in the autumn rains, Hoi An weather by month has the figures. For another central Vietnam site with combo tickets, see the Hue Imperial City ticket prices. Our Hoi An and Da Nang page has the climate table.

Asked what to do around Hoi An, one r/VietNam user picked My Son:

"My son temples are my most beautiful experience in Vietnam (after Ninh Binh). Go there at sunrise and you are litterally alone in the almost-jungle with the beautiful temples."

What we could not confirm

• The price page is dated 1 January 2019, and the visitor guide 29 June 2020. The online counter is undated; we read it on 8 October 2026 and again on 12 October 2026.
• We did not find a decision that puts the VND 250,000 price into force.
• The online counter gives no child ticket, and the pages do not say how the 2026 child exemption works at the gate.
• The visitor guide gives a phone number, 0235.731.309, while the site footer gives 0235.3731.309.

Our take on the My Son Sanctuary ticket price

A foreign visitor saves VND 2,000 by buying on the board's online counter (VND 148,000 against VND 150,000 on the price page), so buy wherever is easier. Children aged 5 to 15 are not sold online, so buy their VND 30,000 tickets at the site. A guide is VND 100,000 per guide ticket and one covers up to five people, so split it with your group.

How we checked this

We read 7 sources on 2026-10-08: two pages from the My Son Sanctuary management board, its online ticket counter, two Bao Van Hoa reports and a Tuoi Tre report. On 2026-10-12 we replaced Vietnam Tourism's Hoi An page, which now redirects to its Da Nang page, with the board's about page for the distances, and Vietnam Tourism's Da Nang page for flights. The same day we read the Da Nang city portal and Nhan Dan on the July fee resolution, and re-checked the price page and the online counter. On 2026-10-23 we read the price page and the online counter again (same prices) and looked for a decision that puts VND 250,000 into force; we found none. Every price, time and date in this article matches a line in our source log; the per-person guide share is our own arithmetic. Last reviewed 2026-10-23.
