Marble Mountains is a group of five limestone peaks situated seven kilometres from downtown Da Nang.
The five karsts (called Ngu Hanh Son in Vietnamese) are named after the five elements: Kim (metal), Thuỷ (water), Mộc (wood), Hoả (fire) and Thổ (earth).
Today Marble Mountains is home to a network of caves, tunnels, towers, and pagodas built by Mahayana Buddhists and the Nguyen Dynasty Kings.
The structures and shrines blend harmoniously with nature.
