And in conclusion, about the Marble Mountains in Da Nang, as a walking place with an excellent panoramic view.
Marble mountains are not only a place for pilgrims, but also a great place for walking.
If you just want to take a walk and don’t want to spend money, you can calmly climb this park through a long, long staircase uphill. In contrast to the elevator.
The elevator, as I already wrote, was built recently, and climbing it to the park costs money.
Not everyone knows that there is a staircase, and that earlier only this staircase was for climbing.
By the way, we also did not know, we only found out when we walked up and walked back, following the signs, went up the stairs and just went down the mountain.
But for us, as tourists, everything was fine. And I didn’t feel sorry for the money, and they took a ride on the elevator, and walked around the mountains, and visited the temples, and the tired ones went down the stairs back.
I recommend you not to be too lazy, and climb up to the highest point of the mountains, to the observation deck there.
The entrance to this observation deck is not very noticeable (maybe it seemed to me), but the steep staircase remained at first along our walk, and only then we decided to return and still see where it leads.
Let me remind you that the weather was rainy, clouds and a very strong wind.
In the video at the end of the post you can hear this wind on the observation deck.
Therefore, the photos from the observation deck are bad for me. On the Internet you can find beautiful photos on a sunny day. And, even that there is nothing special to look at from above, because the mountains are where the houses are low, but you can see the sea, waves and a lot of greenery.
By the way, the observation deck goes in a circle, and you can see the landscapes in all directions of the world.

Da Nang, Marble Mountains. Observation Deck.

A very steep and very long staircase goes up to this observation deck. This is really an obstacle for many.
Despite the fact that I calmly run 8-10 km without any breathing problems, it was problematic for me to climb this ladder.

Da Nang, Marble Mountains. Observation Deck.

The motivation was set by my husband, who was walking somewhere ahead of me, and the 60-year-old American, who was walking ahead of me quite vividly, was ashamed not to get there.
And I got it.
But hard.
I always have problems walking uphill.
I held onto the handrails, but they are not there over the entire length of the stairs.
Look at the photo and find the staircase on it. Yes, these steps are her, and this tree is her handrails.
And I have no more photos, because during the descent the wind was very strong and it was going to rain, I was in a hurry to go down.
And my husband and I were lost. While I was filming a video above in a circle, my husband did not see me, and thought that I had gone down.
And I shot a video, started looking for my husband - and I can’t find him.
And there was no internet up there.
I started to go down, I don’t see my husband anywhere, I was scared, panicked. I even thought, suddenly he slipped and fell down, and no one saw. Well, you know how it is when suddenly a panic is out of the blue.
And I'm down quickly, in the wind, in a panic, and the stairs are long ....
In general, almost roaring, went downstairs, and he sits there, near the entrance to the subway, he is waiting for me, he says, he lost me.
And then the connection appeared, and both in the messenger had messages with the question: "Where are you?"
Everything is fine, but you don’t panic if you lost each other, when you panic, your brains are completely turned off, and only negative and non-constructive thoughts climb into your head.
Therefore, if you decide on the rise - gain patience and strength.
But, perhaps, you will easily and calmly go through the whole climb without difficulty, because everyone has their own level of endurance.
If possible, choose good, clear weather and visit the park in the morning.
If the weather is bad, it is very difficult to walk on wet stones, and the photos will be bad, and rain can interfere.
If it’s sunny and hot, it will be hot on the rocks and in the caves.
But, in fact, good weather is needed for any walk in the park.
If you want to buy marble, which is sold at the bottom in a large number of stores, then read on the Internet how to distinguish fake from real stone.
Previously, marble was mined in the same area, but nowadays, in order not to spoil the mountains, marble is no longer mined there, and imported marble.
A lot of everything beautiful, green and interesting when walking.
But, also, I understand those tourists who write that they expected more from this place.
So, be sure to visit, do not build any excessive expectations, enjoy the temples, visit them and put candles, walk among the greenery, sit next to the fish pond, climb to the top and look at Da Nang from above - and put another tick in your travels and attractions.
This was the final part of our walk through the Marble Mountains in Da Nang.
