Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: The Marble Mountains, Hoa Hai, Ngu Hanh Son, Da Nang 550000 Vietnam
The Marble Mountain (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 as there's lots of steps, you can also discover stunning caves and enjoy the beautiful view from the top of the mountain. Upon arrival to the mountain, we will climb up the stone stairs and visit the caves and pagodas as well as admire the beautiful panoramic view. We will then head down the mountain and visit the stone village where the skilled local sculptors create many marble products. Then, you will go to Am Phu Cave where there's a replica of heaven and hell, eerie underground tunnels while listening to the clapping of bats' wings in the cave.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Linh Ung Pagoda, Bai But, Da Nang Vietnam
Before getting back to the hotel, we head to 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 on, they said, the whole coastal region enjoyed good weather, with no big storms and rough sea waves, while local fishermen harvested good fishing.

Fantastic marvel of the world. It was an enlightening experience greatly supplemented by our informative Guide. To be able to walk the paths of the ancient peoples was an emotional and rewarding experience. A must see tour.
I am not sure what happened but we ended up being taken on a tour to My Son by the agency with the explanation that Marble Mountain was closer to Da Nang. My Son was interesting but tour guide was not very talkative! Maybe better with a different agency
The tour was excellent in the variety of the places of interest and the manner in which it was undertaken. Mr.Tran Huu Thanh was very knowledgeable of the history of the various places and allowed adequate time to enjoy the sites.
