Three visits of the emperor
Min Man may not have been the emperor who visited the Marble Mountains most of all in history, but over the 20 years of his reign he came here three times. Its first time was in 1825, and during that he built the steps leading to the Water Mountain, and distributed many precious things as gifts. During the second visit, two years later, he sends the monks 9 Buddha statues and 3 large bells. For the last time in 1837, all marble mountains were renamed in accordance with five elements.
Festival in the mountains
Kuan Am or the Goddess of Mercy is the largest traditional festival in Danang. This religious event was initiated by the monk Tich Phap Nhan, who accidentally discovers a rock formation that has the same shape as the goddess in the 1950s. Then many Buddhists come to this sculpture to pray, especially on her birthday or death. Today, for many reasons, the Quan The Am « festival is modernized » and has become one of the largest in the Sea Mountains and even in the city.
