Two different visits that day


Marble Mountains "Five elements mountains") is a cluster of five marble and limestone hills located in Ngu Hanh Son ward, south of  Da.

Nang city in Vietnam. The five 'mountains' are named after the five elements; Kim (metal), Thuy (water), Moc (wood), Hoa (fire) and Tho (earth). The area is famous for stone sculpture making and stone-cutting crafts. A stairway of 156 steps leads to the summit of Thuy Son, the only marble mountain accessible to visitors.




HUE, the city is located in central Vietnam on the banks of the Perfume River. Huế originally rose to prominence as the capital of the Nguyen Lords, a feudal dynasty that dominated much of southern Vietnam from the 17th to the 19th century.
