The Marble Mountains
Vietnam, Danang
The Marble Mountains are located 5–8 km from Da Nang. This is a chain of mountains of five hills, symbolizing the five elements: Thu Son (water), Mop Son (wood), Kim Son (metal), Tho Son (earth) and Hoa Son (fire). In the caves of the Marble Mountains there are ancient shrines, altars, beautiful marble sculptures, Buddha statues everywhere - large and small. The most popular cave, Am Khu, symbolizes Hell and Paradise, where scenes of the judgment of sinners are presented. All the temples in the caves are active, they are visited by many pilgrims who profess Buddhism. Buddhist monks also live here. The exit from the caves leads up the stairs to the observation deck, from where a beautiful view of the coast opens.
