After a hearty breakfast at your hotel, set off for the short journey to Marble Mountains, just a few kilometers from Da Nang's city center.

Located in the south Da cluster of Da Nang city, Marble Mountains are stunning five hills—Thuy (Water), Moc (Wood), Hoa (Fire), Kim (Metal), and Tho (Earth)—that are named after the five elements of the universe. The largest and most accessible among those five mountains is Thus Son (Water Mountain).

Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by a labyrinth of caves, pagodas, and stunning panoramic views that await your discovery.

If you’re feeling extra, bask in panoramic views from the summit, taking in the coastline and Da Nang's cityscape. On your way down, explore stone-carving workshops for unique marble souvenirs.

Make sure to include a visit to the iconic Dragon Bridge in your itinerary. The Dragon Bridge is one of the city's most famous landmarks, known for its unique design and vibrant displays.

This unique landmark is both a functional bridge and a stunning work of art. Its main feature is a dragon-shaped sculpture that spans the river. Visiting it in the morning is recommended to enjoy the utmost of the views and design.

If you're there on a weekend or holiday, you might catch a fire and water show in the evening. Take a stroll along the riverside and try local seafood before moving to other destinations.

Built in 1915, the Museum of Cham Sculpture houses a remarkable collection of ancient Cham civilization artifacts. Formerly known as the Henry Parmenties Museum, there are traces of French colonial architecture and a resemblance to Champa temples.

The artifacts offer a glimpse into Cham culture by depicting deities, mythological creatures, animals, daily life scenes, and Buddhist and Hindu decorations.

Currently, the museum exhibits over 400 sculptures created between the 7th and 15th centuries. These remarkable artworks were made of various materials, including metal, sandstone, and terracotta. Their similarity is that they represent the distinctive Cham culture.

It's perfect for relaxation and reflection with soft white sands, clear waters, a gentle slope, and a coconut tree-lined promenade. Visitors of all ages are safe to swim here at any time of the year due to its lack of large waves.

Enjoy local cuisine at nearby stalls, try water sports, and witness stunning sunsets. Whether for solitude, family time, or romance, My Khe Beach offers a rejuvenating coastal experience.
