There's a convenient new way to scale the "Roof of Indochina."
8 years ago
Lao Cai, the mountainous province in Northern Vietnam that’s home to eco-tourism hot spot Sa Pa, has just welcomed the world’s longest three-rope cable car system.
Measuring 6,282 meters, Fansipan Sa Pa cost B6 billion to construct and takes tourists from the Muong Hoa Valley up to the 3,143-meter peak of Fansipan Mountain, also known as the “Roof of Indochina.”
For better or worse, that means what used to take a challenging two-day trek is now reduced to a 15-minute cable car ride.
Aside from the stunning views at the summit, the base is also home to a faux-European complex called Ga Di Trap Trio that consists of shops, restaurants and cafes.
