Fansipan is Vietnam's and Indochina's highest peak at 3,143 meters, often called the 'Roof of Indochina'. While reaching the summit once required a grueling 2-day trek, a modern European-standard cable car now whisks visitors to the top in just 15 minutes. The summit features stunning panoramic views, a Buddhist temple, and a photo spot with elevation marker.
