Depart from your hotel and travel approximately 20 km to Da Nang, a dynamic coastal city rich in history and culture.
Begin your visit at the Cham Museum, which houses the largest collection of Cham sculpture in the world. Here, you will gain insight into the ancient Champa civilization through its impressive sandstone carvings and artistic heritage.
Continue to the Marble Mountains (Ngu Hanh Son), a cluster of five limestone and marble hills that represent the five elements of the universe—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—according to Eastern philosophy. This iconic site was named “Marble Mountains” by American soldiers during the Vietnam War.
Explore Water Mountain (Thuy Son), the largest and most accessible of the five peaks. Visit its caves, tunnels, and pagodas, including the impressive Huyen Khong Cave, which served as a field hospital during the war. The cave also holds deep spiritual significance, once used by the Cham people to worship Hindu deities and now a sacred site for Buddhist worship, featuring a statue of Buddha within its atmospheric interior.
After exploring the mountains, return to your hotel, concluding your half-day excursion.
