Visit Danang, the city of central Vietnam, and you can’t miss the Marble Mountains. They are located south of Danang, on Lac Long Quan st, along My Khe beach. Marble Mountains are a cluster of five mountains, made out of limestone and marble. It’s filled with caves, temples, tunnels, and peaks built into the slippery rock. One famous cave of those is The Hell Cave (Dong Am Phu). And we will visit it today.
All you need to prepare is a shoes for climbing, and a backpack containing mineral water and food (if you visit all the mountains in Marble Mountains, The Hell Cave is 1 of the 5 mountains). You can get there easily by taxi, motorbike, or private car. Open hours are 08:00AM and close at 05:00PM. The price of a ticket only The Hell Cave is 15.000 VND~0.8 USD. (Marble Mountains is also 0,8 USD too).
Before the entrance gate, the local people who live around the Marble Mountains (Non Nuoc Village) are famed for their delicate carvings. The sculptures they sell are usually of many sizes. You will be impressed by many big stone carvings, but if you just want to find some souvenirs or something for yourself, here. The price of a bracelet is about 20.000 VND ~30.000 VND.
The Hell Cave is located in Thuy Mountain (Water) – The largest and most beautiful mountain for tourists visiting and sightseeing. In Buddhism, whoever has died will be reincarnated. After crossing in Nai Ha Bridge (The bridge over the hell river), you will come into the ultra-mysterious and murky caves. Have two ways, one for heaven and another for hell.
Hell has many nooks and hallways that go deeply into the layers, symbolizing for levels of hell called “the hell door”. At each door, you will see the reliefs, statues of ghosts with many different penalties, such as Phan Quy palace, Ming Vuong palace, Avici Hell, Giai Oan springs… Surely, you will get scared in here.
But after coming to “the hell”, you will see the way to heaven. It’s the long stairs to the sky. To reach heaven, you need to pass through the highway, slippery and a little dangerous (I think it’s not for the children). And you also see many fairies on the way. The first impression is the sunshine after dark ways. It’s so beautiful. On the peak – the heaven, you will see the Buddhas, the statues of fairies, the Jade Emperor, etc. Also, you can get an overview of Danang City and the East Sea.
You can’t imagine this cave if you’re staying or intend to come to Danang City. Let’s get a trip in here. To get help, contact or comment with us. And if you have any requests, please leave a message. Or take a look at: Hue to Danang, Hoian to Danang, Danang Airport, Danang City Tour
