The Marble Mountains

A mi-chemin entre Hoi An et Danang, on s'est arrete voir les montagnes de Marbre.

On the way from Hoi An to Danang in order to fly to Hanoi, we stopped at the Marble Mountains. These outcropings of rocks used to be islands, but the sea level has lowered. There are many caves and pagodas on the mountains.



A lot of steps to get to the top made for good exercise!

Inside some of the caves, there are buildings and statues.









L'encens embaume la grotte et cree une ambiance bien mystique.

The mountains have a good view of the beach at Danang, which has a lot of construction for new luxury resorts.
