Climbing 632 steps up Marble Mountain -

Danang - As it was still early, we decided to just walk around and found this  quaint shop ran by an old lady.

Stock up before our journey to Marble mountain
Reaching near Marble mountain, there were many shops selling any artifacts carved out of marble.  Upon reaching the entrance of Marble mountain, Trev decided to count the number of steps to reach the summit of Marble mountain - 632 steps in total.

Look at the huge slab of marble
