A must go when you are in Da Nang! Only 20min drive from Danang city Center. We climbed up 300 big steps to the top then visited 3 caves and some temples! Took the lift down , stunning view next to the lift! We enjoyed Marple Mountain so much even it was rainning!!!
Marble Mountain is a unique place for sure. I’ve never visited anything quite like it before. The site was smaller than I expected but there is still a lot of walking and climbing up and down stairs. You will sweat on your visit, and I don’t recommend it for people with limited mobility. The signage was confusing – I kept circling around wondering if I’d missed something, but in the end I did the whole thing in just over an hour. I took the elevator up and climbed down, but if you’re up for a challenge I think you could climb up as well. There are just a few caves with statues and when I got to end I actually thought I had missed the main cave because it was smaller than it appears in the photos. In the end I am glad I visited the mountain. I recommend going there it as I did en route from Hoi An to Danang, or as an easy half day day trip from Hoi An.
The marble mountains exist in a coastal area which is located about 9km south of Da Nang. It’s a well-known site with peaks, caves, tunnels and temples. A lot of mysterious stories about this place need to be discovered. There are also Buddhist sanctuaries and places of worship dotted across the mountains which are a much-visited spiritual site. You can even see a special circular cave here. It leads to the summit, where you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views. In addition, it is called “Ngu Hanh Son” in Vietnamese in case you need!
There are two ways to go up this mountain, by climbing or the elevator. Many pagodas, caves inside, so attractive and interesting place. When you get the River Watching Tower, you can see all of 5 mountains, so nice and fresh. Love this place!
