Itinerary

Tour Itinerary

The Marble Mountains (Vietnamese: Ngu Hanh Son; literally "five elements mountains") is a popular sightseeing location in Da Nang because of its alluring beauty. Stone steps carved into the mountain lead to a Buddhist Pagoda. There are plenty of exercises going up with many steps for a beautiful view from the top of the mountain. We will then visit the stone village where the skilled local sculptors create many marble products. Then, you will go to Am Phu Cave where there is a replica of “Heaven and Hell”, eerie underground tunnels while listening to the clapping of bats' wings in the cave. Before getting back to the hotel, we head to Son Tra Linh Ung Pagoda. Built under the reign of King Minh Mang in the Nguyen Dynasty (the 19th century), legend has it a Buddhist statue drifted downstream to the area and got anchored at a sandy embankment. The local villagers thought it was a good sign, so they built up a small pagoda to worship the statue. From that day, they said, the whole coastal region has been granted with good weather, no big storms or rough sea waves, while local fishermen harvesting good fishing.

I am writing this review to highly recommend this tour agency to anyone wanting to experience more of Da Nang. I considered the location of the attractions as I booked the half-day to Marble Mountains and the Pagoda, but I was thankful I did. The tour was comprehensive enough given its duration. The tour guide was knowledgeable and witty, and I was never had a boring moment. Ample time was given for each attraction. What took me by surprise was the service accorded prior to the pick-up. The tour guide was in close contact with me pre-tour. What an excellent choice! Less

To kick off the tour, me and my partner were met by our tour guide Vinh, who arrived early at our hotel (I appreciate punctuality 🙂). We then made a stop at another hotel to collect more passengers before making our way into Danang. We were provided with ice cold water as the day was hot 🥵. The journey into Danang was a pleasant one. Vinh was very knowledgable and was able to speak on the history of the country and the areas we passed through. He also provided a breakdown of what the day entailed. Linh Ung Pagoda Our first stop was the Linh Ung Pagoda which was mind blowing! We were dropped off near the rear entrance and Vinh took us through a beautiful river passage which offered stunning views to take pictures and appreciate the scenery. From there we made our way through the Bhudda Temple (with the Sleeping Bhudda) and then onto the pagoda. We were allowed enough time to take pictures with Vinh taking some great shots! 📸 On to the Lady Bhudda. Standing at 67m tall, it really was a spectacular view! Marble Mountain Next, we stopped off at a marble shop to see how the marble statues and sculptures are crafted, before heading onto Marble Mountain. We were allowed some time to browse the shop and buy soverneirs if needed. When we reached Marble Mountain we were given the option of taking the elevator to reach the top or to go through a different cave at the bottom. We chose the elevator. FYI - please wear comfy clothes & well gripped shoes as the marble within the caves is quite slippery and there are some tight/awkward spaces to get through!! After making it through the cave (just about!) we made our way down the mountain (ALOT OF STEPS!!) and then into another cave. (We didn’t go all the way into this cave as we were still recovering from the previous one! Lol). After overcoming more steep steps (😩😩) we finally made our way to the bottom where we were met by our driver and taken back to our hotels. Positives/Improvements Overall the tour was a great experience and we couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! We were allowed time to take in the magical wonders and take plenty of pics. We didn’t feel rushed. I would however, maybe suggest that some time is given for longer breaks. Although you have about a 15/20 min break during the trip from Linh Ung to Marble Mountain, it would have been nice to have some time to relax a little more between the different locations. Especially with Marble Mountain as it can be taxing on your fitness. And with the day being a hot one, it would have been nice to rest in the shade and have a nibble or two! The stop at the marble shop was ok and I would have purchased a small item, however, the staff were not that friendly and followed us around the store so we didn’t feel at ease when browsing. Less
