The 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:

Have lunch with local food at a local restaurant

Try Hoi An style Banh mi, a local sandwich that is made of bread, pork liver pate, mayonnaise, raw vegetables, herbs and meats (pork, chicken, egg, beef, sausage, etc), sauces. Vegetarian banh mi is available. We recommend a local restaurant where family members made the bread by themselves to serve the guests. Banh mi in Hoi An is considered as the best banh mi in Vietnam.

Hoi An Ancient Town is an exceptionally well-preserved South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century. In 1999, it’s honored to be a world heritage site. This town is famous for pretty narrow streets with yellow-wall houses, colorful lanterns and many tailor shops. It’s also one of the most photographed places in Vietnam. See more details

In Hoi An, you will see these places:

Japanese Covered Bridge: the symbol of Hoi An. This wooden building was constructed in the 17th century by Japanese people. Today, it’s also called ‘Pagoda bridge’ because it has a small temple where the locals worship a Taoist god. See more details
