South of Da Nang towards the coast, stand five large hills called Ngu Hanh Son - Marble Mountains.The mountains are a valuable source of red, white and blue-green marble, and at the foot of the marble skilled carvers chisel out a huge number of objects for the house and garden. Marble from here was used to build Ho Chi Min's Mausoleum in Hanoi, see my previous post.

Wow, those are beautiful marble sculptures and well crafted too.
I love those big urns, but it's not the sort of thing I can cram into my hand luggage.
Rats.
What a place to see and visit Jules... and what craftsmen these are.
Gorgeous Girl!! What great photos!
Yeah too bad they were so big, as you say Dive, but we did buy some little ones. Lots of tourists ship the big stuff home though!!!
