Da Nang: Full-day Mystical My Son And Marble Mountains Adventure

We will begin our day with a visit to My Son Sanctuary, the ancient capital and religious center of the Champa Kingdom, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Tucked away in a tranquil green valley, My Son is home to an extraordinary collection of red brick towers and Hindu sanctuaries built between the 7th and 13th centuries. These monuments stand as remarkable symbols of the Cham civilization, showcasing intricate carvings and spiritual devotion to the Hindu god Shiva. Walking through this sacred site, you will feel the serene atmosphere of centuries past and gain insight into one of Vietnam’s oldest cultures. After exploring the ruins and capturing the beauty of My Son, we will enjoy a flavorful lunch at a local restaurant before continuing our journey.

In the afternoon, our adventure continues at the Marble Mountains, known in Vietnamese as Ngu Hanh Son, representing the five elements of earth, water, fire, metal, and wood. Here, you will explore fascinating natural caves, climb to the mountain’s summit for breathtaking views, and visit Linh Ung Pagoda, a site of great spiritual and historical importance. The journey also includes a stop at Am Phu Cave, where the unique replica of “Heaven and Hell” offers a symbolic reflection on Buddhist beliefs. As you wander through this mysterious cave, the sounds of fluttering bats and the cool mountain air add to the experience. We will conclude the day with a visit to the magnificent Son Tra Linh Ung Pagoda on the Son Tra Peninsula, the largest pagoda in Da Nang, where the towering Goddess of Mercy statue watches gracefully over the city and sea, creating a peaceful and inspiring end to the trip.
