⛰️ Da Nang Marble Mountains Tour: Everything You Need to Know Before You Go

📜 The Story of the Marble Mountains

Hello 😊 The must-visit stop on the way from downtown Da Nang to Hoi An is none other than the Marble Mountains (Ngu Hanh Son)! It's very popular because you can enjoy everything from Buddha statues inside caves to wide-open views, all at a low cost. Today, I've put together everything in one place, from entrance fees to the elevator and money-saving tips!

✔️ Legend: It is said that a dragon rose from the sea and laid an egg on the beach, and after a girl was born from the egg, the remaining pieces of the shell became five mountains 🐉

✔️ Name : During the Nguyen Dynasty, the five peaks were given the names Metal·Wood·Water·Fire·Earth

✔️ History: There is Tham Thai Temple, built in 1630, and during wartime the cave was used as a hiding place

✔️ The mountain tourists mostly climb is the Mountain of Water, Thủy Sơn

🎫 Fees & Elevator

✔️ Admission fee: 40,000 VND for adults

✔️ Elevator: Available! 15,000 VND one way

✔️ Am Phu Cave: 20,000 VND extra

✔️ Even all together, it comes to around 75,000 VND, which is much cheaper compared to Ba Na Hills👍 (As of 2026, prices may vary on site)

🪜 Are there a lot of stairs?

✔️ West path: 156 steps, East path: 108 steps

✔️ The elevator only goes up to the Linh Ung Pagoda terrace. For the caves and viewpoints, you'll still have to climb the stairs in the end.

✔️ It gets slippery when it's humid, so sneakers or sandals are a must 👟

✔️ The re-entry policy hasn't been confirmed, so be sure to keep your ticket until the very end!

🚗 Transportation to the Marble Mountains

✔️ About 8 km from downtown Da Nang, a 15–20 minute drive

✔️ Grab/Taxi: approx. 50,000–80,000 VND

✔️ It's the perfect route if you combine it with Hoi An

✔️ If you want to get around freely, try booking a 'Motorbike'·'Rental Car' with VietSpot 🛵

🧭 What if you go with a tour?

✔️ Exploring the cave is so much more fun when you listen to its story along the way

✔️ The Marble Mountains + Hoi An half-day tour is the most popular!
