HANOI, THE CAPITAL, AND THE CULTURE CITY

 
Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam. With a long history of war and colonial time in the past, Hanoi has a mixture of Eastern and Western cultural values, which are indicated through many buildings and structures.

  Hanoi is also well-known for its cuisine.

FANSIPAN, THE “ROOF OF INDOCHINA”, LAO CAI PROVINCE 

 
Fansipan peak with a height of 3143 meters located in the north-west of Vietnam is the highest mountain in the country, and also is known as the “roof of Indochina”. Tourists can visit Fansipan by using the cable car or take a trekking tour, that are both started from Sapa town, Lao Cao province. With the cable car, people can reach the top of Fansipan within 15 minutes while it normally takes a minimum of two days for a shortest and hardest trekking tour. However, the experiences are totally different, as you can save time and energy if using the cable car, but when you go for trekking, you might have more chances to discover and enjoy the gorgeous view of rice terraces, the valleys, and the subtropical forest along the trail.

If you choose a tour,  the price for a cable car tour is ranging from VND 2,100,000-2,500,000 (approximately US$90-110), while the price for a trekking tour is around VND 2,800,000-3,100,000 (approximately US$120-140) – all the tour including transportation, primary accommodation, and meals.
