Time to explore the Marble Mountains. There are a few noticeable areas to explore.
Non Nuoc Pagoda is a sacred Buddhist site located within the Marble Mountains complex and features intricate carvings, statues, and a 700-year-old bonsai tree.
The Marble Mountains are also famous for their caves, which feature elaborate carvings and contain several Buddhist shrines and pagodas.
The views from the top are breathtaking, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding countryside, cityscape, and coastline, making it an ideal spot for photography.

Am Phu cave, also known as Hell cave, is located within the Marble Mountains in Da Nang and is filled with stalactites and stalagmites as well as statues of demons and mythical creatures, creating a unique and eerie atmosphere for visitors to explore. It is said to be a representation of the Buddhist belief in the afterlife and the consequences of one’s actions.
