#hikingtime
Fansipan is 3,143 meters and it is the highest mountain in Indochina (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia).
There are 3 ways to reach the top of Fansipan;
1. You can buy tickets 🎫 for cable car at Sunworld back and forth 🚡
2. Pure hiking 🥾
3. Hike up and cable car down
Best time to hike is March-May or September-October
Bring warmer clothes as the temperature can drop
Getting There - From Hanoi take a sleeper bus 🚌(about 6hrs)I recommend taking the 11PM departure so your arrival will be around 5or 6AM
Attractions - Notre Dame church, lake, ham rong mountain, fansipan, catcat village and trekking to other villages, tea farms
Hotels - in the Sapa center, there are lots of hotels and also homestays around, also hotels and homestays far from the city center if you like a more quiet place
Food & Restaurants - you can try Vietnamese food everywhere, must try to taste the chestnut cake (BÁNH HẠT DẺ) and pair it with Vietnamese coffee, I love the coconut coffee (Bạc xỉu)
Shopping - there are lots of local shops around, you can shop for scarf 🧣 or any cute handmade bags
