Phan Xi Păng to be precise. It’s the highest peak in this part of Asia located in the tourist trap / magical setting (nothing wrong with being both of these) of Sapa, Vietnam. There are a few ways to get to the 3,143m peak – you can trek from the base with a guide, around 2 days in 30+ degrees C or you can get the train. Then a cable car. Then a funicular – or on foot, with things to do and see and/or exit at each level.
Level 1 is the destination of the first train – Fansipan Legend, a touristy area – also accessible on foot and by car. Here there’s gardens, leisure facilities, cafes and shops and the cable car station to get level 2 – we’ll do that in the next post.
Once you’re out and about, there’s garden walks, photo-spots and some cafes and shops. And some willing subjects.
And that’s level 1 – next stop is the cable car.
