The Journey
Marble Mountains
Discover the Marble Mountains, a cluster of five limestone and marble hills named after the elements: Kim (metal), Thuy (water), Moc (wood), Hoa (fire), and Tho (earth). Ascend these sacred peaks (elevator optional) to explore ancient pagodas constructed in the 19th century by the Nguyen Dynasty, the last Vietnamese monarchy. Delve into the mystical Huyền Không Cave and Tàng Chơn Cave, once hideouts for revolutionaries. Witness the artistry of local stone sculptors in the handicraft villages at the mountains' base, a tradition passed down through generations.

Wander through its narrow, lantern-lit streets, lined with well-preserved merchant houses and community halls that reflect a blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese influences. Visit the Phuc Kien Assembly Hall, a communal space dedicated to ancestor worship, and admire the architectural beauty of historic homes like Phung Hung and Tan Ky. Cross the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge, a 400-year-old symbol of Hoi An's multicultural heritage. Indulge in the town's unique culinary offerings, from Cao Lau noodles to white rose dumplings, each bite telling a story of Hoi An's rich past.
