The Marble Mountains

If you are riding a scooter to Marble Mountain, be wary of a ‘helpful’ lady who will appear beside you on a scooter and give directions, then offer to let you park at her family’s shop. This is a scam to force you to buy something when you return to pick it up. She was very friendly until we refused to buy a marble gift, we gave her 20k for ‘parking’. (scooter parking is 10-15k at most attractions). There appears to be a lack of parking for scooters here so they have capitalized on this haha. The entry fee to walk up the mountain via steep steps is 40k pp not 200k per previous reviews. The price to skip the steps and ride the elevator is 75k. Suggest going in the morning- is a lot quieter versus the afternoon when the tour buses arrive. We arrived at lunch time and it was just beginning to get busy. This makes it very difficult to navigate the steps and take pictures in the caves. Be wary of a ‘tour’ guide who will suddenly appear and tell you which way to go and point out the various Buddha’s….this is just a random person who will then aggressively ask you for money. There are free amenities (you have to remove your shoes) and they will charge you 30k for toilet tissue. This is obviously very touristy but we enjoyed it. It’s not difficult to climb unless you are unfit and have issues with balance, as there are a lot of steps and they can be slippery especially when wet. Recommend.

You need to set your expectations right before going to The Marble Mountains or else you can be quite disappointed. You can either go up via elevator with a really long waiting line or you can take the stairs which are very steep and can be quite dangerous if you don’t watch your steps. If you are not a Buddhist then all you can really do is take a good look and take some photos for memories. The craft and architecture and having all those statues on the mountain top is quite impressive and really makes you wonder, but that’s about it. Overall, it’s worth visiting The Marble Mountains once, and you get a decent exercise too and you can buy some gifts and souvenirs at the bottom too.

The entry ticket to the cave was worth it but, the elevator up the marble mountain was not wroth at all. Paid 75000vnd for it felt a-bit skeptical. The view up there up there was magnificent but there was not much to see at all. The cave was only the good part of the mountain the were so much things to see really recommend the cave instead of the elevator to the top of the mountain.

We reached the Marble Mountain around 4pm, just right before the sunset. The ticketing staff near the cave side was not friendly, she didn’t seem to keen in selling the tickets to us but kept pointing to a ticketing booth near the elevator…. & after some tough conversation (plus checking with some tourists) we were finally able to join the elevator queue! Sunset view up there was beautiful but certain area to some caves are not safe for elderly or people who has knee pain problem. It is a good place for those who wants something adventurous 😊😊

Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Danang. The ticket was 200k. You don’t need a map, so don’t buy it. It only costs around 15k, but it’s really not necessary. It took about an hour to climb, explore all the caves, and enjoy a coconut at a small bar upstairs. The biggest cave was very impressive, and there were a few smaller ones along the way that require some climbing effort to fully explore. At the very top, there’s a beautiful ocean view and a panoramic view of the city.

Sharing all of the photos & videos that I‘ve taken. It was really great. Stairs are sometimes pretty steep, the walk is very quick. no need to take the elevator. entrance fee is 40k pax. the caves are really beautiful. if you visit heavens gate, there is a way down that is very steep and you need to climb through a hole into a cave - just look at my pictures. totally recommend it!

There are some great walks navigating stones, rocks and steep stairs so wear proper shoes with grip! Especially in rainy season. The steepest view point and cave number 5 following the map direction arrows were my favourites. Note there is something that looks like a closed avalanche in back of cave number 5, but you can climb up it to continue the route. This is why the direction of arrows on map is critical! The exit is a sign called heavens gate, which the venue really shouldn't put there, as many people began the route going the wrong way, so no idea how they would traverse the rocks 🤔

Nice hiking place. Proper sport shoes as steep climbing steps and some area slippery due to rain. A few rest spots and benches installed. Two modes to climb: a. Only steps or b. Half via elevator and then steps. The elevator cost 15000vnd, when we bought in Dec'24. Overall, it is a nice place to visit, and it takes ~1.5-2hrs depending on ones speed and time to stay in each spot.
