The Fansipan is the highest mountain in Indochina. Indochina, a name given to this subcontinent by Europeans. The land between India and China. How unimaginative colonialists are. In any case, we thought it would be a good idea to book the ride to Fansipan using the gondola. We would not do it again. Pure mass tourism, but managed professionally. A cable car designed by an Austrian engineer overcomes a height difference of nearly 1700 meters in 15 minutes. As a young, fit person, it is said to take six hours on foot. We are neither young nor fit … At the top, one can admire what the Buddhist community of Vietnam has built. Also suitable for very many people. After that, it’s time for lunch again and then we have to endure the long ride back to Hanoi.
