Upon arrival, stroll through its outdoor exhibits of sandstone sculptures and temple decorations created between the 4th century and 14th century by the Cham people.

Your guide, well-versed in Cham history, provides a comprehensive explanation of these relics.

Pedicab-Ride, Small Side-Streets, Photo Opportunities, Han Market, Free Time, Shopping

Leaving the Cham Museum, take a picturesque pedicab-ride from the Cham Museum to Han Market. En route, wind through the small side streets of Da Nang to experience the heartbeat of the city. Riding in a pedicab, or cyclo (pronounced ‘see-klo’), offers a charming and intimate way to experience the hectic pace and heartbeat of Da Nang. Be pedalled through this animated and bustling city, and enjoy numerous photo opportunities of the industrious vendors, streets full of motorcycles and pedicabs, local markets, and colonial buildings. Upon arrival at the colourful Han Market, some free time is made available for shopping.

Marble & Kim Mountains, Goddess of Mercy Pagoda, Marble Mountain Village, Stone Statues

Next, re-board your coach and head to the Ngu Hanh Mountains (Marble Mountains), named after the five basic elements of the universe: Kim Mountain (Metal); Moc mountain (Wood); Thuy Mountain (Water); Tho mountain (Earth); and Hoa mountain (Fire); Hoa Mountain consist of two peaks. Stop at Kim Mountain to view the Quan The Am Pagoda (Goddess of Mercy Pagoda), then proceed to Marble Mountain Village. Here, thousands of stone statues, including lovely, different-coloured specimens, have been created by the skilful hands of the area's talented workers. Afterward, re-board the coach for the approximately 30-minute transfer back to the pier. En route, take an orientation drive through Da Nang via Main Street.
