What is the Fansipan Mountain cable car?
Mount Fansipan, often referred to as the "Roof of Indochina," stands at 3,147 meters, making it the tallest peak in Vietnam and the entire Indochina Peninsula. Located in the Hoàng Liên Son mountain range near Sa Pa, it was once accessible only via a challenging multi-day trek.
In 2016, the Sun World Fansipan Legend Cable Car was inaugurated, transforming the journey into a 15-minute scenic ascent. This engineering marvel holds two Guinness World Records:
- Longest non-stop three-rope cable car: 6,292.5 meters
- Greatest elevation difference by a non-stop three-rope cable car: 1,410 meters
Designed with eco-sensitive principles, the cable car minimizes environmental impact while providing year-round access to the summit.
