More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off your ship at Tien Sa Port to a warm sea breeze and a guide holding a placard with your name. The van eases onto the coastal road; Da Nang’s Dragon Bridge arcs behind you while the Pacific presses the horizon. In an hour you’re at Marble Mountains — five stony peaks rising from lowland rice paddies — where limestone caves yawn and pagodas perch on cliff shelves. Later the river in Hoi An carries lanterns and sampans past timber-fronted shop-houses as your guide walks you down lanes that have held merchants for centuries.
