Our adventure to Fansipan, the highest peak, was nothing short of breathtaking. The journey began at Sun World Fansipan Legend in Sapa, where we hopped onto the famous train. Though the ride was short—just about two minutes—it gave us a glimpse of the stunning landscapes that awaited us.
After reaching halfway up the mountain, we took a break and enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch before continuing our day. The next journey was the cable car ride, an unforgettable experience offering panoramic views.
Once we arrived at the next station, we faced a choice: climb the stairs or take the Fansipan Peak Rail to the summit. Since we wanted to reach the peak quickly to enjoy the view, we opted for a one-way small train ride and decided to walk down later. The total cost for the round-trip cable car, train, and one-way peak rail ticket was around RM150—well worth it for the experience.
Finally, standing at the Fansipan Peak, with the Vietnamese flag waving proudly, was an awe-inspiring moment. The crisp mountain air and the unparalleled 360-degree views made every step of the journey worthwhile.
After that, we made our way down by climbing down the stairs. The image above shows how many flight od stairs were climbed by us. I couldnt recall the exact number of flights but it was worth it. Thankfully the weather was cool around 11 degree celcius. Fansipan truly is a must-visit for anyone exploring northern Vietnam!
