The bus hums north out of Guangzhou before dawn, highway lights giving way to rising ridgelines. By midmorning Mount Yunmen opens up: sheer rock faces, a narrow valley that funnels morning mist, and a glass bridge arching over a chasm that dares you to look down. The cable car lifts you past pine-speckled slopes to a temple courtyard where incense and weathered stone mark a long human presence.
