Fog lifts off the South China Sea and thin mists thread through stairways cut into limestone; the first steps on Marble Mountains ask for quiet and steady feet. Visitors move through cool grottoes, past incense-scented shrines, and up carved staircases that open to a sharp coastline view—then later drive the green spine of Son Tra Peninsula to stand beneath the 67‑meter Lady Buddha, her white figure watching shipping channels and city lights beyond.
