Marble Mountains

There are a lot of interesting sculptures Inside the caves, don't let the 'squawking' dudes outside scare you. You will end up touching green walls, so carry wet wipes/antibacterial.

Climb to the top to see the view with farms on one side and Danang's rapidly developing downtown on the other. The wind on top is a very breezy and relaxing treat on a hot day!

Hay que hacer una caminata de unos 10 minutos por un escalera bastante inclinada pero una vez arriba merece la pena el esfuerzo, puedes ver cuevas, grutas pagodas, etc...las montañas es espectacular.

Check the weather report before you climb up. If you get caught in heavy rain the lift doesn't operate and it's very slippery and dangerous to walk back down! Steps turn into a waterfall!!

If you bring a bicycle park it somewhere communal. Shop owners will harass you to leave it with them for a tip otherwise. They are very rude!

The craftsman/ woman ship is amazing...the products are so varied. The visit to the cave and climbing to the pagoda at the top affords fantastic views....a 'must see' place.

I have a bit of a mobility problem, worse in the wet. By great good fortune I met the wonderful and enthusiastic Mr Turtle in a local restaurant. He assured me that he and his colleague Miss Tien would be able to offer me the support I needed to do the Marble Mountain tour. The kind and gentle care of Miss Tien and Mr Turtle's knowledge of the mountains, the lady Buddha and many of Vietnam's legends made for an excellent tour. There are lots of stairs and the caves and grottos are wet, but I was always in excellent hands and it was very beautiful. At the risk of this sounding like an ad I will give you the guides emails, they offer many tours in Danang and Hoi An. Their English is excellent.

Amazing place to visit and make sure to go there as early as possible in order to avoid the crowds! -Take your time and explore the place as you can discover statues behind the obvious buddha statues. Some of them are in complete dark environment therefore a flashlight will be very useful. -ATTENTION! As i was waiting in the queue in order to purchase my ticket, i witnessed in 2 different cases that the cashiers were giving less change to the tourists! The 3rd case happened to me! Don't step away from the cashier-desk unless you count your change in front of them! -Have in mind that the use of shoes is not allowed in the restrooms!!!! Only barefoot!
