Mountains in Vietnam

Millions of years worth of tectonic activity have resulted in the numerous mountain ranges of Vietnam. From the dizzying height of Fansipan Mountain to the wildlife of Son Tra, there are plenty of mountains to explore.

Fansipan Mountain

Known as the roof of Indochina, Fansipan Mountain rises 3,147 meters above the ground. It’s the highest peak in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia and takes around two days to scale on foot.

Of course, you could always take Sun World’s cable car to the top and explore the pagodas and statues situated at the peak. You’ll be treated to unparalleled views of the Lao Cai Province and the dense forests resting below.

There are over 1,600 tree species living in the ancient rainforests around Fansipan’s base. The dense jungle is also populated by shrubs, vines, and blooming flowers. Since its formation during the Mesozoic era, Fansipan Mountain has become an integral facet of the Vietnamese ecosystem.
