Fansipan – Sapa (Lao Cai)
Dubbed the roof of Indochina, Fansipan is just perfect for those seeking a stunning view at a new altitude. It is not strange that tourists find it super excited to “hunt clouds” even though that is just their first visit. Standing on top of the mountain, riveting distant sceneries, you are guaranteed to have both anxiety and enthusiasm since feeling like a real part of the magnificent nature. At a height of 3,143 meters, the peak is probably an energy challenge, but when reaching the top, you will be sure that it is worth your effort. The best time to have a shoot of soothing clouds usually falls between September and March, when it is utterly cold and frosty, many travelers say.
