Jump into a jeep for the ultimate exploration of Da Nang and its surrounding sites. Cruise in rugged style on war-time roads, up mountains and through lush jungle to wartime stations, just as the American GIs did in this sturdy vehicle, widely used during wartime Vietnam.Depart from Hoi An in the morning and drive along the coastline to the historic Marble Mountain. Here, you can explore the caves and temples built right into the mountain, and observe spectacular views of the expanding city of Da Nang and the famous Da Nang Beach. The tour will then continue along to the coast of Monkey Mountain, where the road climbs to Son Tra Quan Yin Goddess at Linh Ung. Taking six years to build, and unveiled in July 2010, Bai But pagoda, Quan Am Statue, and Linh Ung pagoda is known as one of the most significant pilgrimage destinations for Buddhists in Vietnam. There are many myths about this peninsula. One legend claims that fairies have often been observed landing on the top of Son Tra Mount to play chess on the big flat stone there, hence the name, Ban Co Peek, or Chess Board Peek. From here, you can take a look at the whole of Da Nang city and the bow-shaped seashore forming Da Nang Bay.
