Marble Mountains
Arrive at the spectacular Marble Mountains, one of Da Nang's most famous natural and cultural landmarks.
Explore the limestone mountain complex with its caves, Buddhist sanctuaries, pagodas, stone staircases, and viewpoints.

Take time to admire the natural cave formations and historic spiritual spaces hidden within the mountain.
16:00 – Am Phu Cave
Continue to fascinating Am Phu Cave, one of the most atmospheric caves within the Marble Mountains complex.
Walk through passages containing Buddhist statues, carvings, dramatic lighting, and symbolic representations connected with karma, suffering, judgment, and the journey through the afterlife.
