Experience three of Central Vietnam's most rewarding destinations in a single day with this Linh Ung Pagoda, Marble Mountains and Hoi An Tour. The itinerary moves from serene coastal spirituality to sacred caves and finally into a UNESCO World Heritage town.
The tour opens on the Son Tra Peninsula, where Linh Ung Pagoda sits on a hillside overlooking the East Sea. Its centrepiece is the 67-metre Lady Buddha, the tallest statue of its kind in Vietnam, surrounded by manicured gardens, bonsai displays and arhat statues. The terrace offers one of the finest panoramas of Da Nang city and its beaches.
Next comes the Marble Mountains, five sacred hills honeycombed with caves and dotted with centuries-old Buddhist shrines. Explore Huyen Khong Cave, climb to the Thuy Son viewpoint and pause at the nearby Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village.
The day concludes in Hoi An Ancient Town, where you can walk the pedestrian streets, admire historic merchant houses and enjoy the riverside setting before a comfortable transfer back to your hotel.
