 Activities: 

7:30 - 8:00: It’s pickup time. You will be collected at your hotel in Hoi An Center then we will move to Da Nang ( 35 km far from Hoi An)

8:30: Arrive at the first spot - Monkey Mountain. Here, you will have a chance to look out Da Nang City from this high position. Setting foot on Monkey Mountain, you will visit Linh Ung Pagoda at Monkey Mountain, one of Da Nang's largest pagodas and home to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva statue - Vietnam's tallest Lady Buddha statue at 67 meters. We have plenty of time to take photos and relax  in this beautiful area. If we are lucky, we can see a lot of monkeys around the pagoda. 

Leave Monkey Mountain and head to Marble Mountains, also known as Ngu Hanh Son, a collection of five limestone and marble-made hills. They appear to be five fingers spread out near the water. There are several pagodas, many stairs and 2 spectacular viewing points which were made in the 19th century by the last dynasty of Vietnam monarchy, and visit Huyen Khong and Tang Chon Caves. They also have a number of Hindu grottoes and Buddhist sanctuaries, which are popular temples among the locals. For people who appreciate the splendor of nature and seek a break from bustling cities, the Marble Mountains have emerged as one of the must-visit locations. An over-300-year-old typical marble fine art settlement at the foot of the Alps can attract art lovers. You will admire its talented craftsmen, their creativity and their uniquely beautiful works.

11:30: Transfer to the next place is Am Phu Cave. Coming here, we will learn many interesting philosophies of Buddhism. In the Am Phu Cave, folklore and Buddhism's priceless humanistic philosophy coexist in perfect harmony. The scenes of horror mentioned-above intend to educate human beings about doing good deeds in life and to ‘turn over a new leaf’ to stop a bad habit or make a positive change to their characters.

12:00: Enjoy genuine local Vietnamese cuisine at a local restaurant as lunch.

13:00: After lunchtime, you will get back to Hoi An heading to My Son Holy Land - a masterpiece of Cham architecture also regarded as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

14:30: Arrive at My Son Sanctuary. We will have 2 hours to explore this mysterious place by walking throughout the landscape, learning histories with our local English speaking guide and enjoying the Champa's traditional performances. 

16:30: Heading to the boat station to take a boat trip along Thu Bon River.

You could visit the lives of the local people and feel the fresh air.
