Late afternoon light carves the limestone spires of Marble Mountains into sharp planes as your guide eases the car up narrow switchbacks. You step out into warm air threaded with incense from a hilltop pagoda; caves yawn like old doors and a one-way elevator lifts you toward a view of coastline and city. Minutes later, Son Tra’s ridgeline opens to the Giant Lady Buddha watching the ocean, her white form contrasting the blue below.
