Cable car to the summit of Fansipan
One of the tourist destinations in Vietnam that utilizes a cable car is Fansipan Peak in Lao Cai province. As the highest mountain in Vietnam, reaching over 3000 meters, the cable car ride to the summit, offering breathtaking views of the Northwest region's natural landscape, is a wonderful experience for visitors.
The Fansipan cable car station is located within the Fansipan Legend tourist area. It's about 3 km from the stone church in the center of Sapa town. Here, visitors can purchase tickets for the cable car to the summit, preparing for an amazing journey to admire the panoramic view of the Muong Hoa valley and the beautiful, majestic mountain scenery. The closer you get to the summit of Fansipan, the more you'll feel like you're floating among the white clouds.
Currently, each cable car cabin to the mountaintop can accommodate 30-35 people and the journey takes 15 minutes. While this time isn't long, it's enough for visitors to admire the dreamy beauty of Sapa, from the lush green terraced rice fields and houses nestled at the foot of the mountains to the white clouds drifting lazily across the sky. On winter days or early mornings, visitors can also witness a scene shrouded in thick fog. The white mist blankets everything, creating a serene and mysterious atmosphere.
After the cable car ride, visitors continue climbing 600 steps to the summit of Fansipan and touch the sacred landmark on Vietnam's highest mountain. It's a fantastic spot to admire the layers of white clouds, gaze at the majestic beauty of the Hoang Lien Son mountain range, and take some memorable photos of their Sapa trip.
Cable car to the top of Ba Na Hills
In recent years, Da Nang has rapidly become an attractive destination in Vietnam for both domestic and international tourists. When exploring Da Nang, most visitors choose to ascend to the top of Ba Na Hills by cable car to enjoy the beauty of the Golden Bridge and admire the dreamy landscape of Vietnam's most livable city.
The Ba Na Hills cable car station is located in An Son village, Hoa Ninh commune, Hoa Vang district, Da Nang city. With a total length of over 5000 meters, it is one of the cable car routes that takes visitors through some of the most breathtaking scenery. Currently, this cable car station has several different routes. Therefore, visitors need to research carefully to plan their itinerary and avoid confusion when boarding and alighting. Route A runs from Hoi An station to Marseille station and from Le Jardin station to D'Amour station. Route B runs from Debay station to Morin station, and Route C runs from L'Indochine station to Thac Toc Tien station.
Although divided into several different routes, the experience of riding the cable car to admire the magnificent natural scenery of Da Nang is completely the same. The cabins, made of transparent glass, take visitors one after another through vast, pristine forests, overlooking mysterious streams before reaching the summit of Ba Na Hill.
The higher you go, the more distinctly you'll feel the change in climate amidst the lush green scenery of the majestic mountains and forests. Passing through the "Heaven's Gate," you'll find a magical and mysterious world above the clouds at the Sun World Ba Na Hills tourist complex. From here, you can explore the famous Golden Bridge, stroll through the French Village, and enjoy a buffet before descending the cable car, once again taking in the beautiful scenery of Da Nang.
Cable car up Ba Den Mountain
One of the most popular cable car routes in Vietnam is the one leading up Mount Ba Den – the highest mountain in the Southeast region. Mount Ba Den is known as a popular tourist destination near Ho Chi Minh City, and is a favorite trekking spot for young people every weekend. However, if you don't have much time to climb the mountain, taking the cable car is a great option.
The Ba Den cable car system has two lines: one takes visitors from the station at the foot of the mountain to Van Son station, and the other from the foot of the mountain to Ba Den Pagoda. Because the mountain is less than 1000 meters high, the cable car ride only takes about 10 minutes. However, that's enough time for visitors to enjoy the peaceful and simple beauty of Tay Ninh.
While the cable car ride to the summit of Fansipan and Ba Na Hills offers breathtaking views of majestic mountains and fluffy white clouds, the journey up and down Mount Ba Den presents a different, more serene and tranquil scene. Sitting in the cabin, you feel like you're "flying" through the air, enjoying the fresh, crisp air of peaceful and picturesque Tay Ninh. You can admire the majestic Mount Ba Den while gazing out at the lush green plains below. The modern and aesthetically pleasing cable car system is perfect for sightseeing and taking photos.
Phu Quoc - Hon Thom Cable Car
The Phu Quoc – Hon Thom cable car line is considered by many tourists to be one of the most beautiful in Vietnam. While most other cable car lines are on the mainland and mainly go up mountains, surrounded by majestic forests, the Phu Quoc – Hon Thom cable car is the longest over-sea cable car line in the world, with a total length of 7.9 km. The cable car journey is a fun and memorable experience as the transparent cabins take visitors from the mainland across the ocean to the beautiful Hon Thom island.
Taking the Hon Thom cable car is one of the most amazing and popular activities for tourists visiting Phu Quoc Island. It's not easy to reach such a unique vantage point from above, offering panoramic views of the paradise island, where everything is a captivating shade of blue. Below lies the deep blue ocean with its charming little sailboats. In the distance, the Phu Quoc archipelago shines brightly with its lush green forests and hundreds of thousands of houses lining the coastline.
Besides enjoying the breathtaking views of Phu Quoc Island from above, visitors also have the opportunity to check in at An Thoi train station, built in the style of a Roman amphitheater. Just standing there will give you a stunning set of photos to take home.
