You step out of the van as late afternoon light pins the coastal hills in soft relief. The Marble Mountains rise at your feet — five low, stony peaks of marble and limestone that push a line of caves and temples above the rice plain. Your guide leads you up narrow stone steps; wind and the hum of motorbikes from below make the carved niches and pagoda bells feel immediate and lived-in.
