Five marble-and-limestone hills rising from the coastal plain 8 km south of Da Nang, honeycombed with cave pagodas, war-era tunnels and Buddhist shrines. The main hill, Thuy Son, has a network of stairs and paths leading to cliff viewpoints, cave sanctuaries lit by shafts of natural light, and a hilltop pagoda. Entry costs ₫40,000 for foreigners; the lift up from the car park is an extra ₫15,000. Allow 2–3 hours. Avoid midday in summer — the limestone paths trap heat. Combine with Non Nuoc beach, 5 minutes' drive.
