Day 1
Da Nang Discovery
Leave the hustle and bustle of Central Vietnam’s most frenetic city with a visit to the stunning Marble Mountains. Consisting of a cluster of five craggy marble and limestone cliffs, they were named to honour the five elements of earth, fire, water, metal and wood. During the unsettled years of the Vietnam War, these cliffs served as battlegrounds and hospitals. Explore the battle-scarred crevices before taking in the beauty of the Buddhist temples and statues that fill the wide caves. Discover and learn how this beautiful natural landmark has entrenched itself in the rich history of Vietnam.Next stop is the Son Tra Peninsula to visit Vietnam’s tallest statue. Standing proudly on Monkey Mountain is the magnificent standing Buddha statue at Linh Ung Pagoda. The lofty vantage point offers unbeatable views of the Da Nang coast all the way over to Hoi An.
Experience the cool, misty climate and marvel as visitors from far and wide come to pay homage to this amazing spot. Leave Son Tra and travel alongside the beautiful beaches of Central Vietnam back to the city.
