Cultural Insights

While Cham Island is remarkable, there’s so much more to discover regarding its history and culture. An excursion around the island would not be complete without exposure to a cultural heritage that stretches back centuries.

First off, it is Hai Tang Pagoda a tranquil historic temple lying among the picturesque background of green mountains. This 18th-century pagoda provides quiet and serenity for retreat and learning about the spiritual life of islanders. Its traditional Vietnamese architecture offers a chance to reflect upon the tranquility in which it is placed.

The next step in this journey through time is taken when getting an overview of the 700-year-old Cham Well. This well is one of the last remnants of the original Cham civilization that settled here. Additionally, it is used to this day and has miraculous water. One can visit the site to get an idea about a slice of the everyday life of ancient Cham people and the direct bondage with the land.

We will also take you for a visit to Bai Lang village, which is the biggest settlement on the island, to really get up close and personal with local culture. Wander around the market that is the livelihood of the entire community and meet friendly locals. Feel free to sample fresh seafood if you like or get yourself handmade local souvenirs. This visit is going to be an immersion into Cham Island culture, making you appreciate even more deeply the beauty of this fantastic setting and its people.
