About this stopWhat to expect
The hills are named Kim (metal), Thủy (water), Mộc (wood), Hỏa (fire) and Thổ (earth). They were made a National Special Relic in 2019.
On Thủy Sơn, temples and caves shelter Buddhist statues, with postcard views over the other four peaks.

Good to knowTips
- Strollers: the lift saves the climb, but expect steps and uneven, possibly slippery cave floors — a baby carrier is easier (unverified).
- Temples: cover shoulders and knees (general etiquette, unverified).
- Shoes with grip help on damp steps in the wet season.
