You step from a cool air‑conditioned van into humid sea air, the limestone slopes of the Marble Mountains rising like a small archipelago of stone between Da Nang and Hoi An. The walk begins with steps worn smooth by generations: stone stairs that climb through bonsai gardens and past weathered shrines until the city and coastline flatten into a coastal ribbon below.
