Dong Am Phu (Am Phu Cave, or Hades Cave) is a 350-metre passage carved into the base of Thuy Son mountain within the Marble Mountains complex. The cave depicts all 18 levels of Buddhist hell (Naraka) through stone sculptures arranged along the passage — scenes of punishment and judgement that reflect traditional Buddhist cosmology. It is separate from the main Marble Mountains ticket: entry is ₫20,000 on top of the ₫40,000 Marble Mountains admission. The cave entrance is at ground level, making it accessible to visitors who cannot manage the steps up Thuy Son. Allow 30–45 minutes.
