You step out of your hotel into a humid coastal morning and the road unfurls toward limestone ridges that rise from rice paddies. Marble Mountain’s carved faces and hidden caves push the daylight into cool blue shadows; the sea behind it murmurs as though nudging you inland. From the elevator on the mountain to the bamboo basket boats threading the water coconut canals, the day moves between carved stone, flooded fields and the compact streets of Hoi An’s old town.
