LAS MONTAÑAS DE MARMOL | VIETNAM #5

Well, it's a new day and I'm already packing up the hotel stuff. Today I'm going to visit Da Nang, yesterday I was in the part of the Vanna Hills, But they're a little far away, they're already inside Da Nang. Today I'll be in the coastal area, to see a mountain area They are called the Marble Mountains, son las montañas de mármol, There are a few more points here in this area. And then in the afternoon I'm going to a new point that's going to be Hoi An, That's where I'll be spending the night. The Marble Mountains, or the Marble Mountains, Son a series of mountains that hay here in Da Nang, They're in the city, the sea, the beach is here, 100 meters away. In the region of the southern part of the country, the population is about 5 000 inhabitants. I'm in the most important of all, that is Tui Son, In fact, it's the one that almost everyone comes to because it's the biggest. It has each of the 5 mountains, It is supposed that they represent each of the five elements of Chinese philosophy, like fire, water, metal, and so on. I say etc. because he doesn't deserve the five. And each of these mountains is very good because it's full of temples, pagodas inside, and then in this, in particular in Tui Son, There are also many caves. There are so many people that are even taping the entrances to the sites You don't know where you are. But good, let's go around a little and see what we find. He reached the top of the mountain. There are some very cool views of what is the city of Da Nang, See the coast here behind you too. And yes, it does muchísimo calor, y eso que yo he come en diciembre, That's the coldest season, I'm actually recommending it a lot because there's no humidity. And the temperature is getting pretty nice, Except the night when it goes down a little. But I prefer that to what I expected it to be 100% humidity And being here is making me sick. I'm liking this place a lot more than I thought at first, Because when he arrived and he saw so many people, He said I'm going to go to the government and in five minutes I'm going to go Because I hate crowds. But the truth is that if you start to stray a little, And as most people stay in the first temples, Y la montaña is much more than it seems, There are a lot of roads to lose. Look, I'm now in a cave where there's no one else, There were so many of them, and the viewpoints, there were hardly any people. O sea, you have here to devote 2, 3, 4 hours even, If you want to take it more calmly, eat something like this. I think he told you before that he was already on the highest point of the mountain, Because I'm not going to let you down. In fact, there's a cartel that puts up Highest Peak, The best things about the Highest Peak are the highest. There's no Peter here, and above, if you want to take out the drone, look at this. Oh, here I am, I have all the space in the world to fly the drone, to take it off, to land it, and to do acrobatic maneuvers. What a gozada! As well as a couple of facts about Da Nang, Saying that this is a city that was very important during the Vietnam War, Because it was one of the ports controlled by the American side, by the United States, And then here had a big impact, And also that Da Nang is very well known for the beaches, It doesn't look like anything from another world, if you've been to other places, I know, like Thailand, But they're also pretty fine sand beaches, so it's true that the sea is bravest, But well, it's also for a hot day like this and being on the beach, not a bad place, They're modernizing this city so much, that's why they're building so many hotels. It's true that if you walk through the streets it doesn't look like a mega modern, But it's still very much under construction, so it's still too big. But, well, you have a very important project that this is one of them, and it is indeed, One of the most important cities in Vietnam tourism, and they still want to promote it more. Practically north of everything, of everything that is the coast here of Da Nang, If you find a statue, it's the statue of Lady Buddha, It's the largest Buddha statue in all of Vietnam, it's 67 meters high, It's spectacular to see her here in person, and it's in a compound that has several temples, And then, well, you can be here a ratillo, there's a pagoda too, There's also a water tank and quite a few of these. Well, in general for all this Asian stuff, that of course, Don't feed or anything, or leave plastic like this in open garbage as it is happening, Because if not, it's totally against nature, I'm very sorry to see these things, because these monkeys shouldn't be here. Or eating ice cream cones that people have thrown in the trash. He's been doing a little spin around the compound, because the truth is he's very cool, There are parks and gardens behind the statue of Lady Buddha. Then it's very good to relax, and now I'm going to go eat, I'm going to show you an option that's not going to be so economical, But good, to teach you also other options of Vietnamese food, If you want to give yourself a little luxury. I'm at the place where I'm going to eat, which is the Citron restaurant, It's inside the Intercontinental hotel, in the extreme north-east of Da Nang, This is incredible, O sea, I am here in a table, There are mesitas, bueno, con sofás que dan a la costa, and there are sofas that dan a la costa. And here behind is everything that is the beach, but it is that it is all private, Then it's luxury here, incredible views to eat, Now you'll see, but come on, it's a past menu. So nothing, the whim of the moment travel. Well, he ate the first course, first they brought him some entrantes, A Vietnamese bread crust, which is made from soya with spicy chile, It's very good, and then the first entrant has been some crispy spring rolls, They're full of chicken meat, and they also have vegetables, They're probably the best rolls I've ever tasted in my life. They were exquisite, super loaded with meat, so perfect, And now they brought me a soup that's chicken, has corn, has soy, It's got a lot of stuff and it's got a spectacular look, so let's see. It's very good, it's like coconut milk, it soften the taste a lot, If you notice the taste of chicken, of corn, it's very good. Well, next dish, this is a lambero, a lambero en su punto, With vegetables, here it has like carrots, has peppers, And then this, the green plate is called Morning Glory, It's a typical Vietnamese dish, but it's vegetables, it also has soy and such, So, well, let's see how the lamb is. The point is very good, the meat, and it's got a glaze on it. It gives it a sweet touch, it fits you very well, the truth is that it's great. And this green, morning glory is, takes a lot of adding, but it's very good. What I expect for dessert, they brought me a coffee, which is a Vietnamese coffee, Only normal, only that instead of milk, lechan condensed milk, Then, of course, it gives you a sweeter taste as intense as it is, okay, It tastes a lot like coffee, except you have to leave it. Not so much, because if you don't, you'll be super sweet. Afterwards, he ate a crème brûlée of lemongrass, with mango and banana, The truth is it was very interesting, because it was like a kind of natilla, A crème brûlée, a crema catalana, but with lemongrass, Then I had that touch of freshness, like it was a kind of mint, But much softer, then the truth is that it's very very rich, That's right, it's full, it's cost me a lot to finish it. But I never leave dessert. Well, after about three hours or so sitting here between meals, Relax and talk, it's time to go back, I highly recommend that place If you want something so special, a look, it won't be the most typical food, So it's all Vietnamese cuisine and prepared by Vietnamese and Vietnamese style and everything, But you don't have to spend this money, just if you want something like that. I want to live in a nice place with a nice view. And something so exclusive, because I highly recommend that site, This is Titrus, he's at the Hotel Intercontinental. You'll have to call for sure to make a reservation, you'll have the number on their website, And to let you pass everything on the premises, not to be accommodated in the hotel, But the hotel is 500 euros a night or something like that, it's not so cheap, And then that's a good choice and if not, I tell you, you have a thousand options of any kind of food in Da Nang and anywhere, I just feel like giving myself a little whim and it's, like, nothing. We're going to the hotel I'm going to Hoi An, for my next destination.
