You leave Da Nang before dawn, the city shrinking behind coastal hills as the van climbs toward Bach Ma National Park. The forest opens like a green mouth — humid understory, mossed trunks and a trail that threads between streams — and within an hour you’re beside the cool pools of Ngu Ho, where the five lakes sit at staggered levels and dare you to swim.
