More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the van into heat softened by sea breezes, the cliff-face of Marble Mountains rising like a cluster of weathered teeth against the coastline. Stairs slice through cliff and pagoda; sunlight and shadow trade places across carved figures and damp cave walls. The air smells faintly of salt and incense — a practical reminder that this is both a natural and lived landscape.
