Description

Join a half-day tour from Da Nang to explore Lady Buddha, Monkey Mountain, Marble Mountain, and Am Phu Cave with a small group.
Start your adventure with a convenient hotel pickup from either Da Nang or Hoi An, and head toward the stunning Son Tra Mountain, also known as Monkey Mountain. As you journey through this scenic area, you'll learn about the significant historical and cultural connections between Buddhism and Hinduism in Vietnam. The mountain offers a unique blend of natural beauty and spiritual heritage, making it an ideal first stop.

Your next destination is the awe-inspiring Lady Buddha statue, which stands as the tallest Buddhist statue in Vietnam, towering at an impressive 220 feet (67 meters). As you gaze upon this magnificent statue, you'll also enjoy breathtaking views of the coastline and the city below. The Lady Buddha represents compassion and protection, making it a key spiritual landmark in the region.

From here, you’ll visit local stone factories and sculpture workshops, where you'll see skilled artisans carving intricate statues and sculptures from marble. These factories are integral to the production of the fine marble products for which Da Nang is famous, and it's a fascinating insight into the local craftsmanship.

Next, you’ll head to Marble Mountain, a stunning cluster of five limestone peaks, each named after one of the five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Explore the caves, tunnels, and pagodas nestled within the mountainside, and take in the panoramic views of the surrounding area. One of the highlights here is Âm Phủ Cave, a mystical site where you’ll walk through a re-creation of Buddhist hell, experiencing its symbolic representations of suffering, karma, and redemption. It’s a thought-provoking and eerie journey into the Buddhist concept of the afterlife.

After your exploration, take a break and enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you can savor authentic Vietnamese dishes, providing the perfect opportunity to recharge before the final leg of your tour. Around 1:00 p.m., you’ll be transferred back to your hotel, filled with new insights into the history, culture, and spirituality of this fascinating region.
