3.2. Admire the “sacred soul of Vietnam” from Fansipan Legend cable car

Depending on the time of year, Muong Hoa will put on a new coat, sometimes clear and green, sometimes a captivating red. Visitors will be able to glide in the misty mist, over countless terraced fields spread across the hills, amidst the majestic mountains of the legendary Hoang Lien Son Range.

3.3. Step into a fairy tale with the Muong Hoa mountain train

The first impression of the Muong Hoa mountain train is a small train car, only about 20 meters long, standing out with two red and yellow colors and a rather "Western" design. Few people know that this project was inspired by the steering wheel rail design of Bill Bensley - one of the world's top five architects.

Departing from Sapa town, the Muong Hoa mountain train will take visitors to the majestic and poetic Northwest nature, where the creative achievements of man and the works of nature seem to blend into one. Thanks to the spectacular scenery, the Muong Hoa mountain train has appeared in the advertising campaign "Art of Travel" of the prestigious Louis Vuitton fashion brand. It is no exaggeration to say that the journey on the Muong Hoa mountain train is a path of art, of beauty that seems to only exist in fairy tales or in movies.

The Amitabha Buddha Statue at Sun World Fansipan is the tallest bronze Buddha statue in Vietnam.

3.6. Visiting Bich Van Thien Tu

Standing at an altitude of 3037 meters, Bich Van Thien Tu is a notable highlight among many spiritual landscapes in Sun World Fansipan Legend. Standing out with its red tiled roof, pillars, house columns, and intricately carved wooden doors, it is not too difficult to recognize that Bich Van Thien Tu was built according to Tran Dynasty architecture. There are two symmetrical temples here, the Tam Thanh Mau Temple and the Duc Thanh Tran Temple.

From mid-December to June of the following year is when the azaleas bloom, making the Arhat Road even more stunning.

3.8. Calm down at the 9-storey Waterfall

The 9-storey Waterfall is located between two stone stairs, about 30 meters high. The 9-storey waterfall flows through stone pillars carved with Buddhist scriptures. After climbing 150 steps, visitors will reach the large Buddha statue above. Listen to the sound of flowing water, breathe in the fresh air and temporarily shake off all worries in your mind!

3.9. Conquer the Bao Thap

Recreating the typical architecture of temples in the North (such as Binh Son tower in Vinh Phuc or Pho Minh tower in Nam Dinh), the Bao Thap at Sun World Fansipan Legend has 11 floors, with the outer surface made entirely of stone. On top of the tower is a golden lotus statue cast in sophisticated bronze, bringing a feeling of both splendor, sophistication and solemnity.

Life is a journey and Sapa is so beautiful and unique that we have to wait and see. There is no reason not to “fall in love” and book a ticket to Sun World Fansipan Legend right away, right?
