More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off an air-conditioned minivan onto warm stone and sea-scented air. The Marble Mountains rise ahead—five limestone and marble outcrops scoring the coast—their stair-stepped paths, cave mouths and temple courtyards carved into sun-warmed rock. Later, the road climbs Son Tra Peninsula where a solemn white Lady Buddha watches the China Sea, wind pressing pine needles like a chorus against the hillside.
