Fansipan cable car
In 2016, a cable car opened from Sapa to the top of Fansipan Mountain, which was named Sun World Fansipan Legend. Now, to the great regret of lovers of hiking, this is no longer a desert peak, the ascent of which was carried out in the "intimate" environment of the discoverers. After all, today, having reached the top, you find yourself in a tourist complex filled to capacity with vacationers, mainly from China and local tourists. But on the other hand, if you are not ready for hiking, you can easily admire the views of the clouds from above from the highest peak of Indochina at 3143 meters.
Sun World is a network of amusement parks in Vietnam (In Da Nang, Halong, Mount Bana), and now the amusement park has been created on the top of Fansipan, where the cable car is inserted. It is, of course, not as extensive as in other places, only a few architectural objects have been built here, including a pagoda, a restaurant, and a funicular runs from the arrival station of the cable car at the top to the observation deck at the very top.
This cable car holds two World Records at once, including the longest cable car in the world. Its length is 6292,5 meters, and the height difference during the Ascent is 1410 meters. The cable car allows you to climb to the top in just 15 minutes, instead of a two-day pedestrian climb.
