Cham Islands is also well-known for its cultural attractions such as an exhibition of nature and Cham island people’s culture, Lang Ong, Hai Tang – a 300-year-old pagoda, the Cham old well and Huong fishing village. It is a cultural-historic site, which grows along with the establishment and development of Hoi An City and also has some relics of Cham people’s civilization, dating back hundreds of years ago.
Influenced by tropical monsoon climate, the weather in Cham Islands is cooler than that in the mainland with the average temperature of 27 – 30°C. The best time to visit the beautiful island is from March to August of the year when the weather is pleasant with a sunny sky, the clear water, and calm sea.
In contrast, getting there from September to December is almost impossible because of the bad weather with rough sea, even storms. Boats may be canceled due to heavy rains, strong winds, and waves. So, plan your trip carefully and have the best experience in Cham Islands.
