Fansipan



Fansipan (Vietnamese: Phan Xi Păng) is the tallest mountain in Vietnam, at 3143 meters above sea level. It is also the highest peak in Indochina.

It is located in the Hoàng Liên Mountains on the border between Lào Cai Province and Lai Châu Province, close to the popular tourist town of Sa Pa.

The peak can be accessed via cable car from Sa Pa, or by hiking. On the peak, there is a building and a view tower. The peak sometimes receives snowfall in winter, the only place in Vietnam to do so regularly.
