Da Nang: Half-day Marble Mountains And Son Tra Peninsula Exploration

Into the world of Buddhism in the marble caves

The Marble Mountains are five beautiful mountains made of marble and limestone, each named after the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. As you climb the stone steps carved into the mountain, you will be greeted by serene Buddhist temples, mysterious caves, and stunning views from the top. Of particular note is the Am Phu Cave, which is shaped like “heaven and hell,” a unique place where you can experience the afterlife in Buddhism.

At the foot of the mountain lies the Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village. With a history of over 200 years, the village is famous for its beautiful marble sculptures. Come see the stone carving art created by skilled craftsmen!

Afterwards, we will head to Son Tra Peninsula, about 10km northeast of Da Nang city. Located at 693m above sea level, it is famous for the magnificent Son Tra Linh Ung Pagoda and the Lady Buddha statue, one of the tallest Buddha statues in Vietnam. From the pagoda, you can enjoy the spectacular view of Da Nang city, Son Tra Peninsula, and Marble Mountain, making it a place that will leave you with a long-lasting impression on your trip.
