A salt breeze meets limestone as the minivan threads along the coast from Tiên Sa Port. Passengers step out at Linh Ứng Pagoda beneath the Lady Buddha, a monolithic figure that turns toward the South China Sea; gulls wheel and the city sits low between the peninsula and the surf. The tour moves inland to the Marble Mountains, where short, steep staircases push through carved caves and pagodas, offering abrupt panoramas back to the shoreline.
