🚂 1. Hanoi Train Street Cafe

Views vary from cafe to cafe, so we recommend Railway Cafe Hanoi.

🏔 2. Sapa Fansipan Mountain
Address: Fansipan, Sa Pa, Lào Cai, Vietnam
Point: At 3,143 meters, this mountain is known as the "Roof of Indochina." A cable car provides easy access to the summit.
Transportation: Hanoi → Lao Cai (7-8 hours by train) → Sapa (1 hour by bus) → Cable car ride
✅️ Tip
Go early in the morning to avoid the overcast and foggy landscape.
Long sleeves are essential as temperatures are low at the summit.
The 'Fansipan Legend Cable Car' is the most comfortable and offers stunning views.

This course starts from the village entrance and continues downhill. The return climb is uphill, so be sure to conserve your energy.
