Vietnam: The Tam Thai Pagoda on Thuy Son Hill with China Beach stretching away in the background, as seen from the top of the Marble Mountains, near Danang (2004)

The Tam Thai Pagoda was originally built in the 17th century CE and was restored during the reign of Emperor Minh Mang (1791 - 1841).

The Marble Mountains, about 7km (4 miles) south of Danang, contain a series of caverns that have long housed a series of shrines dedicated to Buddha or to Confucius.
