Marble Mountain
Next on our exploration of Da Nang, our excellent tour guide will take you to one of the most famous landmarks, the Marble Mountains. Marble Mountain is a complex of five mountains that symbolize the five basic elements of the universe: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
But before climbing to the summit, we’ll visit the Non-Nuoc Marble Carving Village, a village specializing in stone carving. Visitors can buy or admire the beautiful stone sculptures carved by skilled artisans.
Of the five mountains, Thuy Son is the largest and most beautiful, home to many temples and fascinating caves. For example, Huyen Khong Cave, Am Phu Cave, and other ancient architectural structures are closely associated with the local people’s cultural and religious life.

Dragon Bridge
After resting and recharging, we will continue our Chan May Port To Da Nang Tour to our next destination: the Dragon Bridge. Da Nang has two famous bridges: the Golden Bridge and the Dragon Bridge. Now, visitors can explore the bridge that symbolizes Da Nang – the Dragon Bridge.

Love Lock Bridge
Just a few steps from the Dragon Bridge is the Love Lock Bridge, the next stop on the Chan May Port To Da Nang Tour. The bridge features a gentle arch, and along the railings on both sides are iron posts where couples can hang love locks, symbolizing commitment and eternity.
After locking the bridge, people usually throw away the key so that no one can open it again. The Love Bridge is also an attractive check-in spot for tourists visiting Da Nang. From here, you can admire the panoramic view of the Han River and the dazzling Dragon Bridge.
Cham Museum
