A humid morning on the coastal plain: palms thin into scrub, fishing boats tilt in the harbor and the road lifts toward a limestone ridge that holds Ta Cu Mountain. The cable car hums up through cloud and clinging forest; below, patchwork dragon fruit farms and the Vietnamese South China Sea spread into the distance. At the top, the reclining Buddha stretches nearly 50 meters across a shaded ridge, and stone stairways invite a closer look at carved figures and views that open toward Phan Thiet.
