More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air-conditioned van and the limestone cliffs of the Marble Mountains rise ahead — raw, pitted faces that seem to breathe history. Wind threads through sculpted caves while incense smoke drifts from temple thresholds; offshore, the ocean pushes a steady rhythm against the shore and the Lady Buddha watches from her mountainside perch.
