This morning, we conquer Fanxifang, 3143 meters above sea level – the highest peak in Indochina.

Exploration of this mount used to be not easy for many people until recently when cable cars and mountain rail system were built.
Start your tour with short mountain railway ride through the scenic Muong Hoa valley to cable cars station.  We then embark cable car ride over the mighty Hoang Lien range.

Challenge your self with climbing some 600 steps to the mount’s peak. The view of the surrounding landscape is so breathtaking.
You can use Funicular to easy your conquer so you only have to work some one hundred steps.

We then get back to the Sapa for lunch at local restaurant.
This afternoon, you are free to explore Sapa by yourself before head back to Hanoi.
