Recommended sightseeing spots about an hour away from Da Nang

My Son Sanctuary๐Ÿ›• It is a sacred place of the Champa Kingdom that enshrines Hindu gods, which can be reached in about 1 hour and 10 minutes from Da Nang. We took a taxi to get there using Grab. We negotiated with the driver and he waited until the end of the tour. I recommend negotiating! ๏ธŽ It was built in the 4th to 13th centuries, but the precious ruins are in a devastated state due to attacks by the US military during the Vietnam War. It seems that the North Vietnamese army used the My Son ruins as an arsenal. There were many bomb marks left. We were able to get a glimpse of the old ruins and the misery of the Vietnam War. Now, restoration is being carried out mainly with the assistance of India (and a little bit of Japan). It was a mysterious space with a mysterious atmosphere. The entrance fee is about 900 yen. It is cheapest to buy tickets at the ticket office on the day. The journey takes about 2 hours. I went in March, and it was very hot, so please take measures against the heat. It might be a good idea to enjoy the Hindu ruins that are unfamiliar to Japanese people? Five Elements Mountain๐Ÿ”๏ธ(6th photo onwards) It takes about 20 minutes from Da Nang. You can get a car from Grab on both the way there and back, so it's not a problem. It is said that Son Goku was imprisoned here. There are several large and small caves. The Five Elements Mountains, which were formed naturally on the plains, are easily accessible from Da Nang and are visited by many tourists. If you want to see the sun shining into the caves, I recommend going by 11am on a sunny day! You can't see them after that. The entrance fee is about 300 yen, and if you take the elevator to the top of the mountain, it's +100 yen, but I recommend climbing on foot. It was like an adventure and it was a lot of fun, so if you have the stamina, please do it! It takes about 1 to 2 hours. โš ๏ธIt's better to avoid wearing sandals or shoes that you are not used to because there are a lot of ups and downs. There are maps everywhere, but please be careful as they are not helpful. If you go to the more crowded area, you will find something lol
