About
クイックファクト: Warm breezes carry incense and the murmur of prayers through narrow stone stairways, leading to shadowy grottoes and cathedral-like caverns pierced by dramatic shafts of light. Five marble-and-limestone peaks correspond to the traditional five elements, and local sculptors still chip delicate statues from quarried stone in open-air workshops at the hills' base.
ハイライト: Five marble-and-limestone peaks are named after the five elements, Kim, Moc, Thuy, Hoa, Tho; inside one cavern a 17th-century pagoda hides weathered Buddha carvings and a bell whose low toll you can feel in your ribs. Nearby stoneworkers still hand-carve sculptures in a village workshop, sometimes spending over 200 hours on a single 2-meter statue that is wet-sanded to a mirror finish, the smell of stone dust and engine oil hanging in the humid air.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes and a hat, steps are steep and some paths are uneven.
- Arrive by 7:00–9:00 AM or after 4:00 PM to avoid tour-group crowds and get the best light for photos.
- Head up Thuy Son for the main panorama and explore Huyen Khong cave for atmospheric light beams and carved statues.
- Bring water and small change for offerings or the simple restroom facilities near the base.
