Located just off the coastal road, each mountain is said to be dedicated to the 5 natural elements.
The Marble Mountains are a well-known pilgrimage site, comprised of many caves, grottoes, tunnels, and temples, hemmed in by the fringes of these hills. Marred by the war just like the rest of Vietnam, the traces of bullet holes from can still be found on these hills.
