You step off the limousine into sticky northern air and immediately the karst skyline grabs your attention: limestone ribs and green paddies march toward the horizon. The hike up Hang Múa (Mua Cave) begins with a steep staircase carved into the flank of a small peak; the climb rewards you with a wide panorama across rice fields, serpentine rivers and the roofline of Trang An’s cave-hollows.
