Fansipan Mountain: Vietnam

  • Fansipan Mountain: Vietnam


    For mountain climbers, Fansipan Mountain is one of the best mountains to climb. This tourist spot is currently ranked number 12 in the list of the New Seven Wonders of the world. Fansipan Mountain is located 9 km south-west of Sapa Townlet in the Hoang Lien Mountain Range. Fansipan is branded “the Roof of Indochina” with a towering height of 3,143 m. Fansipan had been proposed to be one of the very few eco-tourist spots of Vietnam, with about 2,024 floral varieties and 327 faunal species.

    The peak of Fansipan is accessible all year round. The best time to make the ascent is from mid-October to mid-November, and again in March, when the flowers all flourish and the climbers may behold the carpets of brilliant blossoms, violets and orchids, rhododendrons and aglaias. Fansipan Mountain also contains rice terraces like the famous Banawe Rice Terraces in the Philippines.
