You step off the air-conditioned van into a cool mist that clings to the stone arches of Ba Na Hills; the Golden Bridge curves ahead like a pedestrian ribbon held aloft by two weathered hands. Later, Marble Mountain rises from limestone karst, its caves breathing cool air that smells faintly of incense and salt. Together they make a day that alternates between engineered spectacle and raw karst country.
