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). Explore caves adorned with Buddhist sanctuaries, climb winding staircases for panoramic views, and uncover the history etched into these sacred formations. A network of caves and tunnels were used as a hideout for the Viet Cong during the war. The mountains offer a blend of natural beauty and spiritual significance.
Am Phu Cave
Venture into the depths of Am Phu Cave, a subterranean realm within the Marble Mountains that replicates the concept of heaven and hell. Traverse dark and narrow passages, encountering depictions of underworld punishments and rewards. This unique experience offers a glimpse into Vietnamese beliefs about the afterlife and serves as a sobering reminder of morality. Be prepared for a somewhat challenging, yet profoundly thought-provoking, exploration.
Linh Ung Pagoda (Monkey Mountain)
Ascend to Linh Ung Pagoda on Son Tra Peninsula (Monkey Mountain), a sanctuary of serenity and breathtaking views. Admire the iconic white Lady Buddha statue, one of the tallest in Vietnam, standing as a symbol of compassion and protection.

Linh Ung Pagoda is a place of peace, reverence, and stunning natural beauty.
