More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the cruise and the warm coastal air of Chan May gives way to a rising road that threads rice paddies and low hills. In roughly 70 minutes the bus veers inland, trees climbing beside you; the cable car station hovers at the valley rim like a small transit hub to the clouds. The first gondola lifts you over a patchwork of forest and karst ridges, the mountain pulling you upward until a man-made promenade and the famous Golden Bridge appear, held aloft by two enormous stone hands.
