Thuy Son is the largest of the Five Marble Mountains — the Water Mountain — and the most visited of the group. Stone steps lead up through the limestone to cave pagodas, a lookout over the coast, and the famous Huyen Khong Cave with its natural skylight. Entry is ₫40,000 per person (about $2 USD); an elevator up the main staircase is ₫15,000 extra and worth it in the heat. Give it 2-3 hours and visit early before tour groups arrive.
