You step off the minivan into a valley where weathered stone towers rise from green, and the air carries the smell of earth and incense. At My Son the ruins crouch among low jungle, their brick faces scored by centuries of monsoon and human hands; later, Marble Mountains deliver a different pulse — limestone ribs, narrow caves and pagodas clinging to sun-baked cliffs with the ocean spread beyond.
