More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air‑conditioned van into a valley that feels older than the road that brought you. Towers of weathered brick rise among green rice paddies at My Son, their carved faces watching the slow turn of the season while the surrounding hills press in like guardians. Later, on the marble slopes above Da Nang, caves collect shadow and incense, and the sea’s breeze pushes through pagoda courtyards.
