The morning opens on Nha Trang with a racket of mopeds and the sea drawing a flat, silver line on the horizon. You meet your guide at the hotel and slide into a cool car; the city loosens its grip of humid air as you drive toward Long Son Pagoda. The giant white Buddha perches above tiled roofs like a patient guardian, and the climb up past incense stalls sets the rhythm of the day: slow, observant, deliberate.
