Ngu Hanh Son (Marble Mount) or Hon Non Nuoc:
Ngu Hanh Son is about 8km southeast of Da Nang City. This is a cluster of five marble mountains lying close to the sea. That is why it is dubbed Hon Non Nuoc, which means Mountain and Water in Vietnamese.
 In the early 19th century, King Gia Long, the founder of the Nguyen Dynasty, passed by and named the five mountains Ngu Hanh Son. He also named each of them according to one of the five elements of the universe: Kim Son (metal of gold), Moc Son (wood), Hoa Son (fire), Tho Son (earth), and Thuy Son (water). The latter is both the largest and the most beautiful.
 Thuy Son covering an area of 15ha has three peaks namely Thuong Thai, Trung Thai and Ha Thai. Consequently the pagoda built on the mountain was named Tam Thai. Also on the cliff of the mountain are such beautiful grottoes as Linh Nham Grotto, Van Thong Grotto, Tang Chon Grotto and Huyen Khong Grotto. 

Tam Thai Pagoda :
The pagoda was built in 1825 on the Thuong Thai peak and was repaired or restored on several separate occasions. Close to the pagoda stand the Pho Dong Tower, Tu Tam Pagoda and Vong Giang Dai (River-Viewing Pavilion). Stading on Vong Giang Dai visitors can see the Cam Le River meandering among the fertile fields of Hoa Vang district.
On the left of Tam Thai Pagoda is Huyen Khong Grotto. Its large chamber has cool fresh air and numerous beautiful stalactites. 

Linh Ung Pagoda:
It was built under the reign of King Minh Mang on the cliff of Son Thuy mountain facing the sea. It was rebuilt in 1970 with contributions from followers of Buddhism. The pagoda houses a set of La Han statues in white stone. On the right of the pagoda is Vong Hai Dai (Sea-Viewing Pavilion) which offers a clear view of white sandy Non Nuoc beach. 

Tang Chon Grotto :
(Truth-Storing Grotto) lies behind Linh Ung Pagoda. This rectangular grotto is 10m long and 7m wide. Day light reaches down to the grotto chamber, enhancing its beauty.
On the foot of Ngu Hanh Son are the mason's village of Khoan Khoai and Hoa Khue, which boast traditional marble carving. Diverse stone carvings such as bracelets, ash-strays, animal statuettes and so on made here by skilled craftsmen. They make great gifts for tourists. 

Non Nuoc Beach:
The beach stretches for several kilometers north and south of Ngu Hanh Son. This fine sandy beach with sunshine all the year round makes it suitable for tourism in all four seasons. On the beach is the Non Nuoc Hotel. 

Hoi An Ancient Town:
Hoi An, 30km south of Da Nang is an ancient town lying by the Thu Bon River. Known as Faifo to early Western traders, it was one of the manor trending centers in Southeast Asia in the 16th-19th centuries. Hoi An was also an important port of call for Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese. Japanese and other merchant vessels in the Far East.
 In the town there are one or two streets whose original structures remain almost intact. All the houses were made of rare wood and are decorated with horizontal lacquered boards and vertical parallel panels engraved with Chinese characters. Pillars were carved with ornate designs. 

Cham Museum:
Cham Museum is situated in a quiet area of Da Nang city. It was built in 1915 according to the motifs of ancient Cham Architecture. At first it was named the Henry Parmenties Museum. At present the museum houses 297 stone and terracotta sculptural works made between the 7th and the 15th centuries. These are impressive works typical of the Cham culture. 

My Son Sanctuary:
More than 60km southwest of Da Nang lies a valley some 1.000m wide and 1,800m long. It is My Son, one the capital of the kingdom of Champa (5th to 12th century). French historians called it "The My Son Sanctuary" or "Valley of Kings".
Archaeological digs early this century show that the valley in My Son village used to harbors 68 architectural works including royal palaces and temples. Most of them had fallen into ruin either through war or over the passage of time. The vestiges of 25 structures remain to this day. 

Cham Museum :
The Cham Museum is located at the intersection of Trung Nu Vuong and Bach Dang streets in Danang. The Cham Museum was built in 1915 with the financial support of the French Far-East Research Institute in Vietnam. This museum houses the most extensive collection of Cham art worldwide. In the past, the capital of the Champa nation was located in Danang; other famous sites of the Champa civilization include Tra Kieu, Dong Duong, My Son, and Thap Man.
The Cham Museum was built in Cham architectural style, using thin lines that are simple and gentle. Cham architecture originates from the period between the 5th and 15th centuries, when a matriarchal society prevailed. At present, the museum displays approximately 300 sculptures, among which some are made from terracotta. The sculptures were collected from Cham temples and towers throughout Central Vietnam, more specifically the area stretching from Quang Binh to Binh Thuan. All the sculptures are displayed in ten showrooms named after the localities where the pieces have been discovered.
After viewing the pieces in the showrooms,   there are exterior exhibitions that can be visited.

Champa relics in Qua Giang (Da Nang City) :
Mentioning Champa relics in Quang Nam and Da Nang, one can’t help talking about the famous tower areas such as Mi Son, Chien Dan, Khuong My, Bang An. Besides these, there are also other important Cham towers which are now only ruin areas because of war and time destruction.

One of these is Cham tower in Qua Giang, Hoai Phuoc, Hoa Vang distric, Da Nang city.

This area includes one main temple and the surrounding secondary ones; but all of them ruined in the early years of this century. There was only one tower, which was heavily destroyed, left when Henri Parmentier, a French archeologist came. However, there remains the inside part with the shape of a rectangular, built as My Son towers E₂ and F₂.

Although there is just a ruin area left, one can still find some old tower foundations with many of stone faces, Siva statues in sitting position, God Agi statues, and many tower-tops - still in good condition together with worshiping objects found recently. All these objects are kept in the garden corner opposite to the wall made of the very thick bricks from the ruin of the old Cham tower. However, it is regretful that these objects were worn out by the nature.

In recent years, the number of objects found in Qua Giang increase considerably. They are sculptures with shape of man’s heads for decoration of this tower. Looking at the statues, one can easily imagine how parts of the Sivaiste statue link to its body. Apart from five Sivaiste stone faces exhibited in Cham Museum in Da Nang and Guimat Museum in France, the other 21 Sivaiste stone faces were found right in Qua Giang. All were sculptured raised on up-side-down U-shape flagstones with hats of a Jata Mukhuta style on their heads. Some of them have crescent-moon decoration and third eye on forehead - a symbol of God Siva. Their eyes are big but some are without pupils.

The faces are presented with sculptures quite similar to Dong Duong style, which emerged once in the history of Cham and Southeast Asian sculpture. But the thing surprises everybody is that these stone faces have very high and thick neck-lines. Therefore, the sculptures on them are not as elegant and specific as the ones of Dong Duong style, and that make these Qua Giang statues mysterious.

Besides these heads, there remain more than 10 tower-tops preserved intact and some other being broken. Each top consists of three layers with the lowest one shaped square, steepening to the highest one. In the middle of the top, there are some beautiful deep lines and only some tops were decorated.

An 0.4-metre Siva statue is also found here, sitting in Javanese style: the right foot on the left one, pot-bellied, belt worn, the right hand on a knee; but the left arm and knee were broken. Siva is sitting on a square platform carved with a fade contour of bull-god Nadim and wearing a plain Sampot. It head has been lost, but according to Parmentier’s document, at the time he saw this statue, the head still remained with crown, jewelry and the third eye on forehead. Its neck is long with many thick lines.

There also remains a worshiping Liga - Zony base carved with lines stylized from a bloom lotus. It’s a pity that we couldn’t find its Liga as well as the Liga for a big-sized Zony base placed next to a well in the garden. Through its wide size, one could imagine that this Zony may be the base for Liga - Zony in the main Qua Giang temple and this temple was built to worship God Siva.

The discovery of Qua Giang objects has made a great contribution to the study on the history of Cham sculpture and architecture. Through the analyses above, it has come to our knowledge that Quan Giang tower was probably built around the end of the 10^th century. It was also the time Champa nation had to face with burdens left by the former dynasties, the conflics among aristocrats and the all-round difficulties in the inner Indrapura reign, which left influences on Champa sculpture and architecture.

Hai Van Pass :
Hai Van Pass is like a giant dragon, lying on Highway 1 on the border between Thua Thien - Hue and Da Nang provinces.

In the past, Hai Van Pass was known as the Thuan Hoa and Quang Nam frontier. In the early 14th century (11306), Che Man, a king from Cham Pa, offered two mountainous administrative units of O and Ri as engagement gifts to Princess Huyen Tran, daughter of King Tran Nhan Tong.

On his way to see off the Princess in the Quang area in a Summer sunny noon, the King and his entourage were on horse back for almost half a day but could not reach the top of the pass. Facing upwards, the King saw a rampart of mountains in dim clouds, and at the foot of the pass, an immense ocean, of waves. Though sorry for his daughter's difficult journey, the king was comforted by the closer ties between the two nations.

Whenever one goes through Hai Van Pass, two feelings are experienced: amazement at passing through the clouds and fear when seeing the dangerous bends of the road.

A 21 km-long road over Hai Van Pass, opened at the end of the 19th century, winds back and forth to a height of 435 meters above sea level. With sudden curves and blind corners, Hai Van Pass is likened to an arrogant but beautiful girl challenging drivers' skills. Its name means "Pass of the Ocean Clouds," since the peak of the mountain is in the clouds while its foot is close to the sea. Hai Van is considered to be the largest frontier post in Vietnam. The name De Nhat Hung Quan, meaning the most colossal frontier post, is engraved on an incense burner in Thai Temple.

From the top of Hai Van Pass, one can admire Lang Co Beach to the north and Danang to the south. The curving railway through Hai Van Pass is 3,200 meters long including sections running through seven tunnels. There are endless forests to the west of Hai Van Pass and the ocean is to the east. Hai Van Pass is a real challenge for drivers, as well as for adventurers..

Linh Ung Pagoda :
Situated in Hoa Hai commune, Hoa Vang district, Linh Ung Pagoda is approximately 8 km from the center of Danang. Linh Ung Pagoda is 100 meters from Tam Thai Pagoda overlooking the South China Sea. Tang Chon cave is also in the same area.

The pagoda was built during the 18th century. It was later conferred the name Ngu Che Ung Chon Tu during Minh Mang’s reign. The name was changed to Linh Ung Pagoda in the third year of Thanh Thai’s reign. The pagoda, considered part of the beautiful landscapes of Danang, was renovated many times. Precious documents about the history of the pagoda are safely kept in the pagoda.

Ngu Hanh Son - Marble Mountain (Da Nang City) :
The Marble Mountains, also referred to as Ngu Hanh Son or Mountains of the Five Elements, consist of five marble mountains: Thuy Son (water) which is the highest, Moc Son (wood), Kim Son (metal), Tho Son (soil), and Hoa Son (fire). They are located 12 km west of Danang.

Thuy Son has been exploited as a popular tourist resort because of its alluring beauty. Stone steps carved into the mountain lead to the Tam Thai Pagoda where Phat Di Lac is worshipped. At the back of the pagoda is Huyen Khong Cave. In the past, the pagoda paid tribute to Hindu and Buddhist gods and is now dedicated to Cham deities. Huyen Khong Cave was the base for Vietnamese revolutionaries during wartime.

The Marble Mountains are famous for their traditional stone engraving activities. In Dong Hai village close to Thuy Son, 600 families chisel stone producing statues, jewelry, and art work. Stone from the Marble Mountains has been exported to many countries.

One of the nicest beaches in Vietnam is located 2 km from the mountains and 10 km from Danang, which is very convenient for visitors who want to go climbing and bathing.

Non Nuoc Beach (Da Nang City) :
Non Nuoc Beach runs for 5 km against the Marble Mountains in Danang. It is bound by Dien Ngoc Sea to the south and Danang to the north. The beach gently slopes towards the calm, clear, blue sea; the clarity of the water attracts people who come to bathe and enjoy the seafood. Non Nuoc Beach is famous for its seaweed, which reaches exportation standards. Many five-star hotels were built in Non Nuoc to accommodate the domestic and foreign tourists in the area.
