The Marble Mountains Tourist Area in Hoa Hai Ward, Ngu Hanh Son District, Da Nang, shows off its special historical and cultural values. It, therefore, is definitely a must-see when visiting the city.

The Marble Mountains Tourist Area is seen as a favourite place for foreigners.

In recent years, this beautiful tourism site has become a maget for visitors from both home and abroad.

According to the latest figures released by the Management Board of the Marble Mountains Tourist Area, in 2018 alone, this inviting site welcomed a total of 1.946 million visitors, and around 1.150 of them were foreigners.

The city earned about 82,000 billion VND in revenue as a result, exceeding 26% of the year’s target.

Mr Cao Tri Dung, the Chairman of the municipal Travel Association, said the site was officially recognised as a national-level relic site by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 1990.

Recently, it has been recognised as a national special relic site by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism. This played a vital role in helping the city build its great reputation for cultural and spiritual tourism, increasing the attractiveness of local tourism products, and promoting the city’s tourism images worldwide.

Mr Dung highlighted the significance of developing a long-term plan for fully tapping the great potential of the site to make it a special cultural, spiritual and natural space.

Mr Huynh Duc Trung, Head of the Travel Management Office under the municipal Department of Tourism underscored the importance of widely publicising the value of the Marble Mountains amongst visitors, including foreigners.

Mr Nguyen Van Hien, the Head of the Management Board, remarked this year his unit would focus on enhancing professional skills of its staff and improving their civilised attitude and behaviour shown towards visitors.

Importance will be attached to preserving existing cultural values, and strictly dealing with violations relating to damaging or destroying valuable relics.

“In the first quarter of this year, the number of tourist site guides who can speak English, Chinese and South Korean fluently will be increased. In addition, the space on the western side of the tourist site would be expanded in order to fully tap the potential for the development of spiritual tourism”, he noted.
