Marble mountains Vietnam
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
The Marble Mountains are one of the natural wonders of Vietnam. So named because of their marble (and limestone) composition, it's a group of five hills in the Ngũ Hành Sơn District of Da Nang, the principal city of the Central Vietnam region. Home to numerous caves and temples, the only the tallest of the mountains (Thuy Son) is open to visitors. In this drone video by AirVuz contributor sphereview, you'll get a bird's eye view of the mountains, each of which is named for one of the five "elements" per local lore.
