The Marble Mountains, Da Nang

This place surprised me so much. It's a wonderful walk though gorgeous nature with caves and lots of temples. There is this exciting tiny passage though a cave that leads all the way up to the mountain. If you like adventure make sure you do this. It's called stairway to heaven. There are a lot of steps though! Reconsider going if you're not very fit, elderly or pregnant.

It's quite nice. Definitely go early morning as it gets hot and humid after 10am. Note that the 'entrance' is the actual lift 15k. The other 40k is some guide booklet with postcards, which you don't actually need since there are plenty of signs and maps boards once you get up. So unless you want the postcards, just ask for the lift ticket. The temples and caves are nice and overall it's a nice hike. Look out for local stores who will offer to park your bike for 'free' in exchange for buying something small. Only that they don't have anything 'small' you'll be looking to spend from 150k and up. Thus you have 2 options: a) accept the parking and see it as a way to support the local economy which has been hardly hit during the pandemic, or b) keep driving until you reach the designated visitors parking.

Beautiful caves and pagodas worth an hour visit during your time in the area. We were a bit confused about the parking situation - a man in uniform told us we couldn’t park our motorbike in the parking lot with the busses / cars, so we parked outside in a “free” parking spot, knowing in reality we would have to buy an overpriced souvenir. However, we paid her 10k and she accepted. There was no entry fee if you take the stairs. I recommend a visit!

Beautiful place, I would visit frequent if I lived locally. Even though there were a lot of tourists, the place is still peaceful. I did not use the elevator so I'm not sure if there is a cost. Lots of steps but it's always good to get some exercise in while traveling.

♿ Wheelchair-friendly place. Small area to travel and always keep someone to push your wheelchair.  Some places are not wheelchair accessible but you can travel with someone's help. You can use the outdoor lift to the temple. Always travel with someone, who can help you. Beautiful Vietnam Buddhist temple. I really recommend it to wheelchair travelers. You have to spend half a day covering the attractions. Don't forget to see the marble carving places near the temple. Always ask staff to help. Staff will help you to get into the boat. Always use the google translate app to talk with them. Thanks
