TL;DR
For Marble Mountains, wear sneakers and light clothes: there are many stairs and rocks, and the heat and humidity make you sweat quickly. For Ba Na Hills, bring a warm hoodie or sweatshirt, because it can get cold and very windy at the top, even for adults.
Marble Mountains are easier to visit in cloudy or cooler weather than in peak heat, because the long climbs and descents on stairs are much more comfortable outside the hottest part of the day.
If you're going to Ba Na Hills, pack a warm layer for adults as well as children: it can feel cold at the top, and the wind can be very strong. Shorts and a light shirt may not be enough.
For Marble Mountains, late afternoon or milder weather can be a better choice, since the repeated climbing and descending becomes exhausting in strong heat.
Wear proper sports shoes with good grip for Marble Mountains: there are many stone surfaces and stairways, so regular sandals or slippery footwear will be uncomfortable.
For Marble Mountains, it helps to bring a rain poncho and a spare T-shirt: it gets very humid, you'll likely sweat a lot, and the weather can quickly shift to rain.
For Marble Mountains on a hot day, skip the hoodie: it's usually so hot and humid that many visitors end up drenched in sweat. Light clothing and sneakers work better.
