Da Nang Marble Mountain is well-known for its stunning natural caves, pagodas, and Heaven Gate.
These unique mountains formed uniquely from the coastal plain, offering a spiritual place with ancient religious sites such as Linh Ung pagoda, Tam Thai pagoda etc. Besides, natural caves such as Van Thong cave, Hades cave, Huyen Khong cave, Hoa Nghiem cave, and so on.
Moreover, on the Marble Mountain foot, there is a Non-Nuoc Stone Carving Village of over 400 years. This is where you can admire the local marble industry’s craftsmanship and buy some unique marble souvenirs for your friends and loved ones.
Hai Van Pass & Lang Co Bay
The next stop on the way from Hoi An to Hue via City of Ghosts is the Hai Van Pass, one of the most breathtaking mountain roads in Vietnam and the world. It famously winds through the Annamite Range, which is 21km long and offers stunning panoramic views of the Lang Co Bay, Eastern Sea, and Danang city.
In former times, Hai Van Pass was a boundary between Dai Viet and the Champa Kingdom, as well as a strategic pass road during the Vietnam War. Hence, at the top of the pass remains a relic from the Tran dynasty and some French blockhouses.
Nowadays, it connects the cities of Da Nang and Hue. Therefore, this historic pass has been a significant route for trade and travel, showcasing both natural beauty and cultural significance.
Lap An Lagoon
Nestled between the Hai Van Pass and Phu Gia Pass, opposite the Lang Co beach, Lap An is a picturesque brackish lagoon for its tranquil waters and scenic landscapes. This is an ideal place where you can sip a cup of Vietnamese coffee and enjoy some fresh oyster dishes or other seafood dishes while admiring the daily activities of the locals and the surrounding beautiful views.
An Bang Cemetery (City of Ghosts Hue)
The last main attraction in our journey from Hoi An to Hue is the City of Ghosts (An Bang cemetery). It is a local opulent cemetery in An Bang Village, Vinh An, Phu Vang District, Thua Thien Hue province.
There are about 3000 graves of all colors and sizes, decorations, and styles with the value of up to billions of dong. Notably, the architecture of the tombs in An Bang village converges all elements of Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism, and even Islam.
Therefore, the City of Ghosts Hue is renowned not only in Vietnam but also in the world. Also, people in the country, as well as foreign press, called it beautiful words such as “An Bang ghost city”, “city of the dead”, ” mansion of the dead”, and “tomb paradise”.
