You step from the van and the Marble Mountains strike like a row of weathered white teeth rising from rice plains — raw limestone and marble folding upward, carved by time and human hands. Below, stone-carving workshops hum with chisels; above, worn steps thread through shrines and cave mouths where light pools and incense smoke lingers.
