Thủy Sơn (the "Water Mountain" of the Marble Mountains): Regular opening hours are daily from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM. The ticket price for Thủy Sơn Mountain is approximately 40,000 VND. Elevator: If you don't want to climb all the stairs, the elevator costs an additional 15,000 VND each way. Additional ticket: A separate ticket (approximately 20,000 VND) is required for Am Phu Cave (Hell Cave) at the foot of the mountain. Dress code: As this is a religious site with pagodas, appropriate attire is requested (shoulders and knees covered).

A climb through the cave leads to an opening that provides access to the "Heaven Gate" summit, offering a panoramic view. Good physical condition is required. Best time to go: Midday is ideal, as the steps are drier and the cave is brighter. During the rainy season (September to January), the paths are very slippery. Sturdy footwear is strongly recommended.

Van Thong Cave is part of the famous Marble Mountains. It features a steep, narrow climbing section inside, leading to a passage known as the "Gate of Heaven," and bears witness to the Vietnam War through bullet holes in the incense burner before the entrance. It is a rather adventurous cave, offering narrow passages and steep steps to reach the second chamber. ...

Inside is a large statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, created in 1960. There are also shrines to the goddesses Ngoc Phi and Loi Phi, where visitors pray for good fortune, health, and peace. During the Vietnam War, the Viet Cong used the cave as a secret field hospital and weapons depot.

The Huyen Khong Cave is the most impressive highlight of the Marble Mountains (Ngu Hanh Son). It is a large, open cave known for its mystical atmosphere, sunlight streaming through skylights, and a giant Buddha statue. Originally a sanctuary, it served as a hospital and shelter during the Vietnam War. The cave is located in Thuy Son (Water Mountain), the largest of the Marble Mountains. It is dome-shaped, reaching heights of up to 30 meters, and is illuminated by natural openings in the ceiling.

Walk up and take the elevator down. There are two sets of stairs leading up the mountain. The stairs not next to the elevator are also steep, but less crowded. Very long line for the elevator, so walk! 😁 Not suitable for older people, some of the steps are very high. Very interesting caves, beautiful pagodas... Perfect in January at 20 degrees Celsius. Very crowded even on weekdays. 40,000 VND per person entrance fee at the stairs.

A very interesting installation from the Vietnam War, used first against the French and later against the Americans. The tunnel network has a length of 250 km, some sections reaching up to 3 levels and 10 meters deep.

Here, everyone can walk through the tunnels, up to a length of 25 meters, in a crouching position or on all fours. It's really fun, but not for people who suffer from claustrophobia.
