Marble Mountains, DaNang

The Marble Mountains are five marble and limestone hills south of Da Nang city. The five mountains are named under the five elements in Vietnam - metal, water, wood, fire and earth. 

The mountain we climbed had several caves and tunnels, including several buddhist sanctuaries and great views from its peak. 

The area is famous for stone sculpture making and stone cutting crafts, however rock stracting from the mountains were recently banned (and the marble is now coming from China).

We suggest a hike up to the mountains in the morning and a cold HaNoi Beer at the China Beach (across the street) for the sunset!
