Fansipan Cable Car Tickets

Fansipan Cable Car Tickets

How to go to Fansipan cable car:  If you want to trek sapa and want to see the beautiful scenery, you can start from the Sapa Church to the Silver Falls intersection, turn left onto Nguyen Chi Thanh and go straight to Fansipan Legend (about 1,7 km). With lots of signs along the road, you will get to the cable car station easily.

Or you can hire a taxi to get to the station. However, the taxi fare in Sapa is much expensive than it is in the lower land, so expect to pay 22,000 VND/ km instead of 10-12K/km as usual.

Since March 2018, Muong Hoa mountain climbing train linking Sapa town center to Fansipan cable car station was inaugurated. With a total length of about 2 km, this is the longest and most impressive mountain railway in Vietnam.

The train departs from the MGallery hotel in Sapa and ends the journey on the Fansipan cable car station. The train goes through a number of tunnels, crosses via viaducts and offers views of the majestic natural beauty of Muong Hoa valley and peaceful villages. The fare for Muong Hoa mountain climbing train is 100,000 VND/ person.

In the Sun World Fansipan Legend yards,  there is a sunflower field, where you can have beautiful pictures here.

You can either buy the tickets at Sun Plaza Counter at Fansipan Street, Sapa Town, Lao Cai ( opposite to Sapa Church)

2. Operating hours of the cable car:

7h30: start welcoming guests;

16h30: stop accepting guests;

17h: invite visitors from the mountain.

The ideal time of day to visit is at midday or early afternoon. At that time, the sky is clear, the temperature is also higher, so you can enjoy the panoramic view of Sapa.

3. You should dress warmly

Because the higher you go, the lower the temperature, especially going in the rainy months, it will be very cold. If you go during the dry season, you should wear a water-resistant jacket as the clouds sometimes spill over the top of the mountain to form rain or damp mist. I went right on the rainy day so raincoats and rain boots were indispensable.
