Among the unforgettable Danang Tours, few can compare to the magic of visit five Marble Mountains, a legend-infused, spiritual, and naturally beautiful cluster of five towering lime-colored peaks. A quick drive from the heart of Da Nang, the world-class destination combines sweeping vistas, secluded caves, and ancient pagodas into an experience that reaches the heart. Tight schedule or a full-day experience, the half-day and full-day tours allow you to set the pace. Ready to visit five Marble Mountains and discover one of Vietnam’s most spellbinding treasures? Let’s start.
To visit five Marble Mountains, your journey begins just 11 kilometers southeast of the vibrant city center of Da Nang, at 81 Huyen Tran Cong Chua Street. Nestled between the coast and countryside, this iconic site is easily accessible on all Danang Tours and serves as a perfect half-day or full-day cultural escape.

As you descend through the caves and stone stairs, you are stepping into centuries of history. These mountains saw the dynasties rise and fall, the diffusion of Buddhist teachings, and even the sacred gifts of King Minh Mang, who worked to conserve these sacred sites.
When you step into visit five Marble Mountains, you’re following the paths of monks, pilgrims, and poets who once came here to pray, paint, meditate, and seek meaning in the silence of stone.
The area is also a crossroads of cultures. Ancient Cham influences resonate still in the architecture as well as in the trappings spread about the area. Marble statues, pagodas, and altars are carved into the cliffs, some concealed, some displayed with pride.
Caves such as Huyen Khong shine with natural skylights, making each photo a work of magic. And Am Phu produces a theatrical plunge into a symbolical world, with carvings that depict morality by using imagery. No Danang Tours would be the same without the contrasts of light and darkness, of heaven and earth.
