More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the vehicle onto sun-warmed stone and a stairway hewn into living rock — the first of many carved steps that lift you into pockets of chill cave air and open terraces. Marble Mountain (Ngu Hanh Son) rises like five stubs of limestone from the coastal plain, its carved stairwells leading to grotto shrines, hidden caverns and two sharp viewing platforms where the city and sea sit spread below.
