You step out of the van to the salt air and the steady hum of Da Nang traffic receding behind you; ahead, five rocky spires rise from rice-flat plains toward the South China Sea. The tour threads the city’s coastal energy with quieter, sacred places — the towering Lady Buddha watching over Monkey Mountain, the weathered stairs into the Marble Mountains, and the shadowed chambers of Âm Phủ Cave.
