Da Nang Airfares

If you’re visiting Da Nang in Vietnam, then an absolute must-see is the famous Marble Mountains. The five peaks, located to the south of the city, are made of a mix of marble and limestone and the peaks are thought to represent the elements of water, fire, metal, wood and earth. Amongst the peaks are many caves and tunnels, with Buddhist sanctuaries and statues found within, and many of these can be explored. The highest peak (water) has stone steps carved into it, so you can climb to the top – and witness a spectacular view.

Not surprisingly, the Marble Mountains are also famous for being a place where artisans have carved stones, making jewellery and sculptures. Good examples of local crafts can be found in the village at the base of the mountains, where locals make a living from selling their traditional stone crafted wares.
