Itinerary

HALF-DAY MARBLE MOUNTAINS & LINH UNG PAGODA FROM HOI AN

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.

Marble Mountains and Linh Ung Pagoda Half-Day Tour (review from Get your guide)

Activity was interesting and guide was knowledgeable, friendly etc - it was a great tour, the only thing we didn’t like was going to the marble shop, where they hope you buy things. That part was a complete waste of time and a bit embarrassing.

Half-day Marble Mountains & Linh Ung Pagoda from Hoi An (Review from Viator)

Our tour guide was brief and factual which is better! He gave us just enough to get a sense of the history and meaning. You spend a lot of time climbing stairs but don't let that put you off. What you see makes it all worth the while!

Half-day Marble Mountains & Linh Ung Pagoda from Hoi An (Review from Viator)

We were picked up by our lovely tour guide from our hotel and taken first to Marble Mountain. First dropped off at a large store in hopes of us purchasing a creation made of marble to add to the already disappearing beauty of the mountains. Apparently 2 of them are almost gone because of all the mining. Then take up the mountain via elevator. Our tour guide did a marvelous job of explaining the history of things, offering to take our photos, as well as feeling when we were ready to move on to the next site. We had a spectacular time climbing up the cave to the top as well as visiting the temples inside the mountain. The hike was moderate/strenuous in difficulty, depending on fitness level. Following, we went to Monkey Mountain and the largest pagoda in Vietnam. The sites, temples, bonsai trees, and the large lady protector were all sensational. I really recommend coming up here. As mentioned before, our tour guide was spectacular. I wish I could remember his name so that I could give him a shout out and encourage his manager to pay him more ;). You know who you are!

Half-day Marble Mountains & Linh Ung Pagoda from Hoi An (Review from Viator)

We were picked up at our hotel on time by our driver and guide Marble. Marble was attentive and informative during the whole tour. First we visited Monkey Mountain then followed by marble mountain. Our guide ran the tour at our pace and was very patient as my wife slowly descended the steep stairs. Would highly recommend this company and tour if you’re visiting Danag/Hoi An.

Enjoyed the tour, however, need to warm people that there is a lot of walking and climbing uneven steps.

Half-day Marble Mountains & Linh Ung Pagoda from Hoi An (Review from Viator)

The entire experience was amazing due in part to the guide that met us. An old war veteran that was full of surprises and told many stories about the past and the area. The personal experience that he shares with us was exemplary. I think his name was "Can"... but not sure. If anyone else recalls this gentleman's name please let me know. I am going back to Vietnam in 2020 and would like to look this man up.

Great to fit both these sights in half a day without rushing around. Both were equally fascinating in theur own ways. Our guide was informative and was accomodating. Nothing was rushed and she had an excellent sense of humour. Highly recommended and very genuine
