Rising dramatically between the sea and the city, the Marble Mountains are Da Nang’s crown jewel — five mystical limestone peaks dotted with hidden caves, ancient temples, and sacred shrines. As you wander shaded stone paths and climb gently upward, you’ll discover shimmering grottoes lit by shafts of sunlight, serene Buddhist sanctuaries echoing with the scent of incense, and panoramic viewpoints where the coastline stretches endlessly beneath you. It’s a place where nature, spirituality, and history intertwine, offering an unforgettable glimpse into Vietnam’s timeless beauty.

At the foot of Marble Mountains lies Non Nuoc Stone Sculpture Village, a centuries-old craft hub where tradition meets artistry. Here, master carvers transform raw marble into exquisite statues, jewelry, and home décor — each piece reflecting both skill and soul. Strolling through the workshops, you’ll hear the rhythmic chisel on stone, watch artisans bring life to their creations, and gain a deeper appreciation for Vietnam’s cultural heritage. Beyond its history, the village is also a treasure trove for shoppers: from delicate souvenirs perfect for travelers to grand statement pieces for collectors, it’s a place where you can take home more than just a gift — but a story carved in stone.

Beyond the military hardware, the museum offers a window into local life during the war years, giving travelers a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s modern history.
