Fansipan · Phan Xi Păng
Fansipan (Phan Xi Păng) is a mountain of the Hoàng Liên Sơn range above Sa Pa in north-west Vietnam, whose summit is reached by a cable car run by Sun World Fansipan Legend.
Why go
Fansipan is the mountain whose summit the cable-car operator Sun World Fansipan Legend calls the 'Roof of Indochina', giving its altitude as 3,143 m; Wikidata records both 3,143 m and 3,147.3 m, and OpenStreetMap's summit node carries 3,147.3 m. The operator says its cable car takes visitors to the peak and that the destination also has spiritual landmarks; Vietnam's tourism authority says visitors wander a pagoda complex before climbing the last few steps to the summit. Wikidata places the mountain in Lào Cai province, while OpenStreetMap's boundaries put the summit node in Lai Châu. This record is the mountain and its summit point, not the cable car or the resort.
