The Marble Mountains in Vietnam, known locally as "Ngũ Hành Sơn," are a cluster of five limestone and marble hills located in the coastal city of Da Nang. Each mountain is named after one of the five elements: Kim (metal), Thuy (water), Moc (wood), Hoa (fire), and Tho (earth). These mountains are renowned for their stunning natural beauty, intricate cave systems, and numerous Buddhist sanctuaries and pagodas. Visitors can explore the various caves adorned with statues and carvings, hike to the mountain summits for panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, and learn about the rich cultural and historical significance of the area.
