Da Nang 岘港 ,Vietnam(Day 1) - Marble Mountain & Linh Ung Pagoda

This was second time we planned to have family trip. The first time with our's parents to Thailand , but this round they already can't travel to us any more. Both of them already travel another's world. We only can take care each others among us. 

We planned to visit Vietnam, but is not Ho Chi Mihn city. The place which we visited can consider fourth big city in Vietnam and also the central of Vietnam, that is DA NANG city. After we booked the flight in advance, I start searching all the info like include Van rental. 

Before that, my cousin mentioned there using grab car also very easy. But due to we have few kids and if grab car also have to order 2 car. So we consider book a Van.

The Van rental , i using which recommended by Tripadvisor Da Nang Car Rental (Tripadvisor) and their page http://jmdanangcarrental.com/ . I direct contact Mr.John which the number showed at the page. Mr.John very kind and he can speak English . I throw the attraction place which we wish to go and the time of flight, so he will come out the schedule for you. The total cost of the 3day Van is USD 125 , there include driver, fuel and parking . If you wish to add tour guide, there have to discuss with Mr.John. 

Due to the flight we took on Monday and the time was morning 10somthing. To avoid the traffic jam, we have to early reach airport and enjoy our breakfast there. We choose the Old Town Cafe to have breakfast and relax until the 20min before boarding. 

Before leave Malaysia, of course have some local food. Otherwise we will miss Malaysia so much. The standard of them still remain, just this cafe so crowded.  

             

             

             

  We were sitting there about 2 hour+- , we so free to take photo , make selfie and playing game. 

            

This was the fist time she took the flight, she feel excited and keep asking when will reach and how the plan later on and a lot a lot different question. Really hard to answer her .

            

This trip not only family trip, it also meet my sister in law which stay in Ho Chi Mihn. We meet at Da Nang and travel together.  This was the first time we meet our new member's .She so cute and like to smile. Those kids also love her so much .

 After arrived we went to a small restaurant to have quite lunch then only go for check in. This was the first meal we have in Da Nang, Beef Noodle and Chicken Noodle. Lucky they have chicken option, otherwise there no food suitable for the kids.

    

When the time we confirm the flight ticket, we also thru Airasiago book the hotel as well. This Hai Yen Hotel everything is fine, just the they didn't provide breakfast and the elevator not so convenient when check out time.

After rest a while , we going to our first attraction place " Mable Mountains " . This area quite big and have few cave to visit also. Due to we late going there and we also have kids, we only visit the Am Phu Cave which most less climbing one. 

Walk into the Am Phu Cave, the floor a bit slip. So when the time coming better wear sport shoe. The marble sculptures is more and more refined than the former.  In the cave there have my different god statue like Sakyamuni. At there other corner there has a staircase of the "18-story hell" that leads to the underworld. 

We didn't stay much time in side the cave, because it a bit dark , crowded and some area is not  ventilation. After walk out from the cave we follow way to another cave entrance , but really don't have much energy climb the staircase. So we just walk around the Souvenir street.

Before we leave, we found another building next to the Am Phu Cave entrance. So we walk in and relax a while there. This area really cool and when the time you sit there you will feel relax. There also have one Guan Yin statue .

We carry to next attraction point, there is Linh Ung Pagoda. There have a larges Guan Yin Statue allocated here and a bigger shrine next to it also. This Statue really big and you can notice it from the Center of Da Nang City.

From parking area to the Guan Yin Statue, there have a shrine  and the garden. The garden have a lot potted plant and some statue around it.  A lot people choose near the archway area take photo. Because there have a nice sea view. 

The weather really not good and going to rain soon. We just quickly find the good point to take few photo. Within 15min, the rain already come. All of us and others tourist run into the shrine which under the Guan Yin Statue.   

Da Nang area so famous in seafood. You can found many seafood restaurant in My Khe Beach area.

Our driver bring us to a restaurant which close to our hotel.  All the seafood really fresh , but the only cooking skill destroy the seafood and wasted the money . If you really come and enjoy the seafood here, have to do some research and get some restaurant really know how to cook it .
