Da Nang & Hoi An tour overview
Why this trip
- The big day in Da Nang: the Lady Buddha on Son Tra, the caves of the Marble Mountains and Ba Na Hills.
- Morning at Linh Ung Pagoda, the stone carvers of Non Nuoc and the pagodas and caves inside the mountain.
- Afternoon up the Ba Na cable car to the Golden Bridge, the gardens and the French Village.
- You finish with a photo stop at the Dragon Bridge lit up after dark.
An honest note: this is a long day and a lot of steps. The Marble Mountains alone are 146 steps to the first tower and 136 more to the caves, with a paid lift for the first part only. Lunch is a single bowl of Mi Quang, not a sit-down meal.
