Mysterious Mountain

Fansipan Mountain, towering over northern Vietnam, is the highest peak in Indochina, standing at 3,147 meters (10,326 feet) above sea level. Renowned for its breathtaking views, lush forests, and diverse flora and fauna. Fortunately or unfortunately during our visit in December the mountain was covered in hazy clouds. It had an eerie mysterious vibe, but we loved it! You need to take a cable car to go up to the mountains. The cable car cost 800.000VND per person for a roundtrip. The cable car journey takes about 30min. After you reach the mountain you can climb to the top by 2-ways: -1 walk around 30-40min on some steep stairs, or -buy a funicular ticket, a small train that will lead you to the top of the mountain (it is about 150.000VND for 1-way). Depends on the season, it can be very warm or very cold up on the mountain. Be prepared with some extra clothes in your backpack. You can find some restaurants after you reach the cable car station up on the mountain, but they are quite pricey and the food is not that great! Be patient, during our visit we had to wait 4hours to get into the cable car due to the long queue of people. Enjoy! #vietnam #fansipan #mountain
