You step onto the cable car and the mountain inhales—clouds drift beneath the gondola while pine ridges push up toward the sky. By the time you reach the Golden Bridge, two giant stone hands seem to hold the path aloft, framing a view of lacquer-blue sea and the low-lying city of Da Nang far below.
