First we&rsquo;ll make the pilgrimage to My Son Sanctuary, a unique collection of temples built by the Cham people in the 4th century. This Hindu worship site is dedicated to Shiva, something you&rsquo;ll learn about thanks to our experienced tour guide.&nbsp;

We&rsquo;ll continue to tour Da Nang, where the majestic Marble Mountains loom for miles around. We&rsquo;ll explore the sizable Am Phu Cave with its lofty vantage point, as well as discover dimly-lit cave temples, admiring colourful pagodas and gazing out over the Vietnamese countryside. The mountains themselves are made from limestone and marble (hence their name), which the locals use to carve impressive statues and shrines.

&ldquo;The views are spectacular and the caves are something else. An exhausting but worthwhile visit, and you need to have appropriate footwear.&rdquo; &mdash; <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g298085-d454980-r716265124-The_Marble_Mountains-Da_Nang.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Michael, USA</a>

Before the day is done, we&rsquo;ll visit the&nbsp;Linh Ung Pagoda.&nbsp;We&rsquo;ll head home full of facts, history, local knowledge and memories. What more could you want?

&ldquo;You have got to see this whilst in Da Nang. One of the best places to visit... looking and exploring the history and admiring the craftsmanship that went into this Pagoda. The atmosphere is tranquil with surrounding landscape and trees...&rdquo; &mdash; <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g17786366-d7118743-r695192873-Linh_Ung_Pagoda-Son_Tra_Peninsula_Da_Nang.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Charlie, Australia</a>&nbsp;
