Book this experience to stand at the feet of the Lady Buddha, Vietnam’s tallest statue, and soak in the most breathtaking panoramic views of Da Nang’s coastline. We will explore the intricate architecture of Linh Ung Pagoda, walk through the courtyard of 18 life-sized Arhat statues, and enjoy a peaceful escape into local spirituality. Along the way, you’ll get to meet the playful wild monkeys of Son Tra Peninsula and capture stunning photos where the mountains meet the sea. It’s a perfect mix of cultural wonder and natural beauty
At the foot of the Marble Mountains, we will visit the Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village, a 400-year-old craft village recognized as a National Cultural Heritage. You’ll witness talented local artisans transforming raw marble into exquisite sculptures, from delicate jewelry to massive, life-like statues. It’s a fascinating chance to learn about the ancient techniques passed down through generations and pick up a unique, handcrafted souvenir to remember your journey.

The tour was really worth it. I visited both the Marble Mountains and My Son Sanctuary in one day but still felt comfortable and not rushed. The Marble Mountains were very beautiful for taking photos, and My Son felt peaceful and special, especially while watching the Apsara dance show. The tour guide was very friendly and helpful, and the stories about Champa history were interesting and easy to understand. The guide also helped everyone take nice photos during the trip. The car was on time, the schedule was good, the lunch was tasty, and everything was well organized. Very good value and highly recommended!
It's such a great honor for us to be your local ambassador. We hope that you had a memorable experience with your family and your friends in Vietnam. We always look forward to bringing the best service to you. Thank you very much.
