The statues and monks of Marble Mountain

Visiting Marble Mountain (Ngũ Hành Sơn near Da Nang, Vietnam) and seeing the statues was truly awe-inspiring! Especially the massive statues carved into natural stone inside the caves created a mystical atmosphere, and the subtle glow on the stone-carved faces when sunlight hit them was particularly impressive. Climbing over 400 steps was exhausting, but the breathtaking views and the beauty of the statues made all the effort worthwhile. This place, steeped in Vietnam's history and Buddhist culture, is so special that I definitely want to visit again!
