The morning begins at the fishing harbor: nets creak, gulls circle and the sea breathes cool salt into the air as the minivan threads toward Ta Cu Mountain. By the time the cable car hums you uphill, the city drops away and forested slopes press close, mist clinging to ridgelines as the car climbs above palms and rock outcrops.
