Journey to Fansipan @ Sapa - Towards Fansipan Peak

THURSDAY 1st FEBRUARY 2018

The main building here is where you buy your ticket. It cost Dong 700,000 for the cable car. The cart will drop you at the main building above. But that is not the peak yet. You will have to either walk-up the stairs ( 600 steps all together ), or take a ride up using fanicular ( a small train cart going up / down ). This will cost you additional Dong 70,000 going up, and Dong 80,000 going down.

Once you buy the ticket, you will walk past thru several escalator and pass by restaurant and souvenir shop and cafe.











INSIDE THE CABLE CAR : It's a cart that can fit in 14 people at one go. Since we were here on normal days (not weekend), so, the cart is not so crowded. You can see full view of the mountain. You can also see the hiking trail below used by people who hike.











AT THE STATION ABOVE : Once you reach here, get out of the cable car and head towards the main lobby. You can rest for a while, go look around their souvenir shop, or have something to eat at their restaurant below ( one floor below the lobby ). The weather outside is raining. We have to buy a rain coat in order not to get wet.




Head towards the exit and climb your self upstairs to the fanicular station. You will by pass few temples along the way. The station is actually right after Bich Pan pagoda and and Tran temple.
