(Mountain of Wood), Thuy Son (Mountain of Water), Hoa Son (Mountain of Fire), and Tho Son
(Mountain of Earth). Several Buddhist temples have been built into the caves and grottoes, and it's a
popular pilgrimage site. The real fun, though, is at the Am Phu cave, where you can make the steep
climb up toward the light and a view from the top of the mountain, surrounded by approving sacred
images...or head in the opposite direction, physically and spiritually, down to the crude Hieronymous
Bosch-esque statues of sinners getting their due in the caverns below, with appropriately eerie
lighting. Either way, bring walking or climbing shoes. Please note that exploring all five mountains
might be ambitious for a single day's touring and would probably require quite a few hours.

which is the largest of all of the mountains with the most features to explore (including the
aforementioned Am Phu cave).
