Description
Explore the Marble Mountains on a guided tour from Da Nang. Climb to the top of the mountains and enjoy panoramic views of Da Nang city, the nearby coastline, and the surrounding countryside.
Explore the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Marble Mountains on a guided tour. Climb up the mountains through well-maintained stone steps or take an elevator to the top of the main mountain, Thuy Son.
Start with hotel pickup in Hoi An and head to the Marble Mountains to begin your tour. Learn about the five main peaks, each named after one of the five elements in Chinese philosophy: Metal (Kim Son), Wood (Mộc Son), Water (Thủy Son), Fire (Hỏa Son), and Earth (Thổ Son).
The area has been known for centuries for its marble production, which is why the mountains are named after this precious stone. The stone was historically used in sculpting and building, with carvings from the region being highly prized throughout Vietnam and beyond.
Once at the summit, enjoy panoramic views of Da Nang city, the nearby coastline, and the surrounding countryside.
