Just 10 km south of Da Nang and 20 km north of Hoi An in Central Vietnam is a small group of 5 “mountains” known the world over as the Marble Mountains. They are five marble and limestone hills situated at the south of Da Nang City in Vietnam. They are often translated as Mountains of Five Elements, which means Thuy (water), Moc (wood), Hoa (fire), Kim (metal) and Tho (earth).
There are numerous tunnels and cave entrances in here, which make it more alluring to the tourists. One of the caves had two large statues of gods guarding the entrance. It is possible to climb the summits but also to abseil down the numerous holes into the cave palaces. Statues of Buddha are present in many caves. Since 1975 the Marble Mountains has gained popularity as one of the major Vietnam popular destinations.
The 156 step climb at the main entrance is not particularly difficult and offers some interesting views of shrines and stone-carved friezes on your way up; but beware, the stairs are made of marble and can be slippery. Make sure you are wearing comfy shoe cos it can be really rocky and slippery there.
