More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off an air-conditioned shuttle and the mountain air in Ba Na Hills pushes at your face, the Golden Bridge rising like a human-made ridge held by giant stone hands. Clouds drift through the railings and the coast, far below, flashes silver. On the second morning the heat of central Vietnam presses differently—Hoi An’s narrow streets open into courtyards where lanterns still hang from timbered eaves.
