What to expect

A full-day guided tour of historical and architectural wonder from the natural beauty of a mountain made of marble to classic oriental architecture dating back hundreds of years.

The Marble Mountains (Vietnamese: Ngu Hanh Son; literally "five elements mountains") is a popular sightseeing location in Da Nang because of its alluring beauty. Upon arrival at the mountain, we will climb up the stone stairs and visit the caves and pagodas as well as admire the beautiful panoramic view. Next, you will go to Am Phu Cave where there is a replica of “Heaven and Hell”. Visit Linh Ung Pagoda. Built under the reign of King Minh Mang during the Nguyen Dynasty (the 19th century), legend has it a Buddhist statue drifted downstream to the area and got anchored at a sandy embankment. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in the area.

In the afternoon, continue to discover the city of Hoi An on foot. While walking through the city, make a few stops to visit Hoi An Museum, many of the town’s renowned Ancient Houses which boast remarkable architecture, Assembly Halls of Chinese influence; Art Craft Manufacturing Workshop, and of course the must-see Japanese Covered Bridge. These spots are considered typical architecture styles in Hoi An and reflect clearly the cross-culture among France, Japan, China, and Vietnam. Used to be a prosperous seaport city in the 16th century, passing over hundreds of years and withstanding the severity of the weather, Hoi An still exists and keeps the ancient and quiet beauty. At the end of the tour, you will be transported back to your accommodation in Hoi An.
