Visiting the Marble Mountains, visitors will be impressed with the over 300-year-old Linh Ung Pagoda on Thuy Son (the Mountain of Water), as well as the mysterious beauty of Tang Chon, Hoa Nghiem and Huyen Khong caves, the Tam Thai Pagoda, and the 610-year-old banyan tree.

Recently, the Ngu Hanh Son District People’s Committee has installed 42 loudspeakers along pathways, and at some sites around the Marble Mountains, to provide useful information in both Vietnamese and English to visitors with a melodious musical background.
