Located amidst the majestic Northwest sky, Fansipan Cable Car (Sapa Cable Car) - Sun World Fansipan Legend stands tall as a symbol of Sapa tourism. Dubbed the "World's longest three-wire cable car", this magnificent structure takes visitors to the top of Fansipan - "Roof of Indochina" quickly and safely, opening a magical door to wild and majestic nature.

Located right in the center of Sapa town, Swing Sapa not only attracts young people who love to check-in locally but also tourists from all over the world. Possessing a special location, coming here you can both admire the overwhelming natural scenery and "live virtually" with so-deep fairyland standards that are no less than Bali and indispensable pure cold air of the Northwest. On the high mountain slope, standing at Swing Sapa, we can see the whole green forest below Hoang Lien Son National Park. Not only that, at the foot of this place there are also many flower gardens facing, creating a magnificent "flower offering" scene.

Where can we feel the most pristine Sapa? The answer will definitely be Muong Hoa. This beautiful valley is located more than 10km from the town center with a road that cannot be called convenient, but when we get there, we will definitely feel that the distance is worth it! Muong Hoa is most famous for its endless terraced fields, overlapping each other to create golden steps like a real path to heaven. If you want to fully enjoy this moment, you can come here from September to November.

Since the tourists flocked to the village, Ta Van has also become a more famous check-in spot in Sapa town. Following the Silver Waterfall through Muong Hoa, we will reach Ta Van. If Muong Hoa still retains the gentle beauty of wild flowers, Ta Van more clearly shows the mystery of the Northwest mountains and forests, the nomadic beauty and the legends of the Giay, Dao Do,...
