More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light slices across limestone faces as you step off the shuttle and into the stairwells of the Marble Mountains. Stone steps curve into shadowed caverns; shafts of sun find floor mosaics and carved Buddhas. The coast glitters below from the cliffside terraces at Linh Ung — its white statue of the Goddess of Mercy watches the sea, a landmark visible from many points in Da Nang.
