Linh Ung Pagoda in Marble Mountains
Having traveled to Thuy Son, the “foot-crazy” association cannot ignore Linh Ung pagoda. The pagoda is located east of Ha Thai peak, more than 150m wide, and was built during King Minh Mang 1825. Linh Ung Pagoda retains its unique architecture after many years of natural disasters, wars, and restoration. The 10m high statue of Shakyamuni Buddha is solemnly placed in the center of the temple, with two sides are Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara and Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.

Hell Cave at Marble Mountains
As one of the largest and most mysterious caves in the Marble Mountains, Am Phu Cave is located in the heart of Thuy Son. This cave is natural with two branches: Heaven and Hell. In front of the cave is the Yin-Yang bridge. Perhaps because of that gloom, local people have recreated many human punishments after going to Hades such as the head of a buffalo and the face of a horse that is interrogating sinners, Giai Oan stream, and Cong Ly to repeat the crime. making mistakes while alive, cooking oil, etc., to educate and direct people to a better life.
Kim Son

If visitors have the opportunity to travel by boat on the river, you will be able to see the shadow of the mountain falling on the water, looking very quiet and calm. In addition, the Quan The Am Pagoda and the mysterious Quan Am cave are leaning against the Kim Son mountain, so unique, correct?
Moc Son
Let’s explore another element of the Mable Mountains, Moc Son, also known as Mong Ga mountain, because of the shape that looks like a “rooster.” Despite its name Moc, this mountain has the fewest trees and no temples or pagodas. There is a white marble block on the hill like a sitting person, known by the locals as Ba Quan Am or Co Mu.
Hoa Son
The next stop is Hoa Son, located in the southwest, opposite Kim Son island, on Su Van Hanh street. A double mountain with two connected peaks, Am Hoa Son and Duong Hoa Son. Duong Hoa Son mountain, located on the bank of the Co Co river, has Thien Tai pagoda. Behind the pagoda is Huyen Vy cave. Inside Hoa Son, there are caves and Pho Da Son pagoda.

Tho Son
The last mountain of Marble Mountains Danang is Tho Son, located north of Kim Son mountain and west of Thuy Son mountain. This element is probably the “youngest brother” in the Marble Mountains because it is the lowest and longest mountain. From above, it looks like a dragon lying on the sand.
To the east of Tho Son, a cave 20m deep and a path leads up to Bo De cave (Dao Chong mountain tunnel). During the war, this area was the hiding place and activity of revolutionary soldiers in the past. There are steep, narrow, and low cliffs on the northern slopes.
