Step off the hotel shuttle into warm, salt-tinged air and the low hum of Da Nang traffic; within thirty minutes the city gives way to limestone knolls rising like guarded relics above rice paddies. At the Marble Mountains the air cools as stone steps and carved pagodas pull you upward. Caves breathe history and incense; a bell sounds from a 19th-century shrine and the nearby coastline unfurls, a silver band below.
