Morning fog parts as the cable car lifts you from humid lowlands into a cooler world of pine and stone. Steps on the Golden Bridge curve like a hand cupping the sky; below, valleys pull at your curiosity and the sea glints beyond the hills. By night, Hoi An’s lanterns crowd the Thu Bon River, each light an invitation to slow down.
