The afternoon light slants across Da Nang as a private car threads coastal roads toward the Marble Mountains, where limestone cliffs push up from rice paddies like folded pages. Visitors step out into cool cave mouths, wind-sanded stairways, and a small pagoda where incense smoke lifts toward carved Buddhas. Later the route climbs Monkey Mountain to the Linh Ung Pagoda; the 67‑meter Lady Buddha watches the city and South China Sea, a white silhouette against the wide horizon.
