Best time to visit
Early morning for sunrise, when clouds often clear and light is best for photos. Best seasons are October to November and February to April when skies are drier and visibility is highest.
Budget tips
Expect a paid cable-car ticket rather than free entry; buy official cable-car tickets online or from licensed Sapa agents for small discounts and to avoid long queues, and avoid street touts.

About
クイックファクト: Rising to 3,143 meters, the summit holds the country's highest point and rewards early hikers with a carpet of clouds and dawn light that turns terraced fields into ribbons. A modern cable car whisks visitors to the upper station in about 15 minutes, offering panoramic views that compress valleys, rivers, and mountain ridgelines into a dramatic sweep.
ハイライト: Climbing the last stretch involves roughly 600 uneven stone steps from the upper station, each breath tasting thinner and colder as you push through to a summit often wrapped in wind-whipped prayer scarves. A short, glass-windowed cable car ride of about 15 minutes flips valley rice terraces into a mosaic below, then the sudden silence at the summit makes the ringing of temple bells and the scent of incense feel startlingly close.
Insider tips
- Wear warm layers and sturdy shoes, summit temperatures and wind can be much colder than Sapa town.
- Aim for the first cable car or pre-dawn trek to catch sunrise and beat most day-trip crowds at the summit viewpoint.
- If hiking, hire a local guide and carry extra water, snacks, and a rain layer, trail sections can be steep and muddy.
- Skip the overpriced summit souvenir stalls and use the western summit platform for the widest panoramic photos.

4.35時30分の日の出は神秘的でほぼ人がいなかった。パゴダの入場は無料、ロープウェーは高かったが日の出の景色はそれだけの価値があった。
朝5時に出発して10kmのハイクをした。急だったが午前中は静かで、正午になると人が増えた。ガイド料は400k VNDで高く感じた。
6時30分に到着、ロープウェイはほとんど並ばず料金は約700k VND。山頂の眺めは素晴らしく、あとで行列が長くなった。
Arrived 9am with kids, 45 minute cable car wait and steep stairs at the top. Ticket was about 700k VND each but summit view made it worth it.
