You step off the tender and the coast of central Vietnam unfolds — a low city skyline giving way to green hills that climb into cloud. The first ascent is vertical in spirit: a modern cable car carries you up Ba Na Hills, rising through drifting mist to the Golden Bridge where two enormous stone hands appear to have plucked a gilded walkway from the sky.
