More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start on stone steps hewn into marble, the wind carrying salt from the nearby sea and prayer incense from a hilltop pagoda. The climb up Marble Mountains pushes you through low caves and cliffside lookouts where the ocean pulls the horizon taut; at times the mountains seem to lean into the city, daring you to look back at Da Nang below.
