Here are activities that you will visit in the Monkey Mountain:
– Linh Ung Pagoda: the biggest Buddhist temple in the area. Built on the hilltop from 2004 to 2010, it has very large worshipping halls, tall towers, numerous bonsai trees and plenty of stone sculptures. The view from here is awe-inspiring. See more details

– See monkeys or macaques (no feeding).
Most scenic road in Da Nang (no stop)
This breathtaking coastal route begins on the lush curves of the Son Tra Peninsula, sweeping downward past the majestic, 67-meter-tall Lady Buddha statue. Hugging the vibrant shorelines of Hoang Sa and Truong Sa streets, the open road treats you to unbroken views of Da Nang’s white-sand beaches and the vast East Sea. The seamless drive concludes as the coastal flats meet the dramatic, jagged limestone peaks of the Marble Mountains rising straight from the landscape.
Marble Mountains
The Marble Mountains is a group of 5 mountains that rise suddenly from the surrounding plain, near the coast. Named after the elements of Five Elements, there are ‘water’, ‘fire’, ‘wood’, ‘earth’ and ‘metal’ mountains here. To see its sights, visitors need to climb many stairs. See more details
Here is the list of places which you will visit in the Marble Mountains:
– Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village: see lots of marble sculptures that vary in size, shape and color. Local people started carving stone to make them 300 years ago and now this long-standing tradition is a national intangible cultural heritage. See more details
– Linh Ung Pagoda: the most well-known Buddhist temple in the mountain. Built in the 19th century, it’s the oldest one in three famous pagodas of the same name in the area. See more details
– Tang Chon Cave: tucked away inside the ancient limestone cliffs of Marble Mountain, this atmospheric cavern reveals hidden shrines, weathered stone altars, and natural skylights that filter soft sunbeams into its sacred, mystical depths. See more details
– Huyen Khong Cave: the biggest cave in the mountain. Visitors will be amazed by fascinating beams of light falling from its ceiling and learn about local beliefs. See more details
– Tam Thai Pagoda: one of the holiest Buddhist temples in the area. It’s constructed in the 19th century by request of Minh Mang king whose father promised to build it many years before. See more details
