The van eases out of Da Nang as late afternoon light softens the city; limestone ribs of the Marble Mountains rise ahead, cool air nudging the palms. Visitors step into a landscape where stairways thread caves and pagodas perch on cliffs, while the Lady Buddha watches the South China Sea from her hill like a patient guardian. After sunset, the Han River pulls the city’s neon into motion and the Dragon Bridge breathes fire for passing boats.
