Marble Mountains

The Marble Mountains are a cluster of five marble and limestone hills, each named after a natural element: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Buddhist temples are carved into the caves and grottoes, making it a popular pilgrimage site. The most engaging experience is at Am Phu cave, where you can climb steeply toward the light for a summit view or descend into eerie caverns with statues of sinners.
