MARBLE MOUNTAINS  

Marble Mountains is considered a huge Penjing (Chinese Bonzai garden) close to Da Nang City. It is a group of five marble and limestone mountains, named after the five elements of ancient oriental philosophy: metal, wood, water, fire and earth.

Among these five mountains, almost all temples, pagodas, and caves are located in Thuy Son (The Water Mountain). Therefore it is considered the most beautiful and highest mountain in the Marble Mountains.

These mountains have a complicated system of caves and tunnels. In the past, they were used as hiding places and important bases for the Vietnam revolutionaries.

The Non Nuoc Village at the foot of Marble Mountains is famous for stone sculptures and handicrafts. The tourists have a chance to admire skillful carvers creating their beautiful sculptures. Each work of art expresses the talent and sophistication of the artisans. Here you can buy many articles made of marble stone, from small ones to huge statues of Buddha.
