Marble Mountains - Da Nang, Vietnam
The Marble Mountains in Da Nang is the most popular attraction in the area. The mountains are located 7 km from Da Nang town. It’s easy to get there by taxi, bike or by public bus.
The mountains consist of five stone hills, each of which, according to local ideas, means one of the five elements of the universe and has a corresponding name.
Mount Thuy Son (Ngon Thuy Son or Water Mountain) is the only one equipped for tourists to visit: paths and steps, recreation areas have been built, and there are decorative lighting in the caves.
Here you can visit several caves with shrines and temples, climb one of the two viewing platforms. In addition to the caves, along the way you will see various Buddhist pagodas and temples.

You can climb the stairs and the elevator that can shortcut the stairs for a fee. From the top, I could see the cityscape of Da Nang and the beach

Wuxing Mountain is named after five small hills carved by the five lines of Jinmu Water and Fire. It saves a lot of footpower by taking the elevator straight up.
Wuxing Mountain, few people, beautiful scenery, good air ~~
We hired a motorcycle from our hotel and took ourselves off in the direction of Marble Mountain. About 45 minutes from Hoi An, we took the costal road stopping off to take a look at the An Bang beach along the way. FYI this beach was too crowded for me and it’s true that Da Nang beaches are better as told to us by locals. Marble Mountain is ok, you could easily do it in a morning and be back to do something else in the afternoon or chill by your hotel pool. The caves are fun and the lookout vistas give you a great view of the area. The marble steps are slippery so take care if anyone in your group is unsteady on their feet. The most breath taking cave was number 5 if I recall, it has sunlight breaking through some of the ceiling of the cave which looks pretty cool. we took the elevator up, it’s an extra charge to the entrance ticket & then walked down. We parked our motorcycle at a shop near by and she tried to sell us marble on our return, the pendents are not my thing but I would of had a chess board if it wasn’t so darn heavy!!!
