06:20: Guests gather at the meeting point on Tran Quang Khai Street, as scheduled before departure, to complete procedures and depart for Sapa via the Hanoi – Lao Cai expressway. Normally, our coach travels via the Foreign Language University, Hoa Binh Park, Thang Long Industrial Park, Noi Bai Airport, and then onto the expressway. Therefore, guests can be picked up at these points. Guests are required to register their pickup location before departure.

Alternatively, for guests arriving the night before and staying at hotels in the Noi Bai / Dien Xa area, we will gather at the lobby of Noi Bai Airport Hotel for pickup between 07:45–08:00.

13:00 – 13:30: Arrival in Sapa. Guests have lunch at the hotel, then check in and rest. Guests staying at Long Anh Hotel may check in immediately. For other hotel options, guests will rest for about 30 minutes after lunch before the afternoon sightseeing.

Afternoon: The tour guide will pick up guests for a short walk to Moana Sapa, a check-in attraction featuring man-made structures harmoniously blended with nature, creating a unique, beautiful, and picturesque landscape. The site is about 500m from the Stone Church and covers an area of over 10,000m², offering panoramic views of the Hoang Lien Son mountain range and Fansipan peak. It includes seven main attractions that are especially popular with young travelers, such as the Bali Gate, Moana Statue, Infinity Lake, Golden Hand, Death Swing, Lonely Tree, and a café area.

18:00: Dinner. Evening is free at leisure. Guests may take photos at Sapa Stone Church, explore the Sapa Love Market (held every Saturday night), or enjoy local grilled specialties with the famous San Lung rice wine to warm up the cold Sapa weather. Overnight in Sapa.

07:00: Guests have breakfast at the hotel and relax. Enjoy a hot morning coffee at the restaurant.

08:00: The coach and tour guide pick up guests and transfer them to the Fansipan Cable Car Station to begin the journey to conquer Fansipan using the world’s most modern 3-rope cable car system, with cabins accommodating up to 30 passengers.

From the upper station, pass through Heaven’s Gate (Thanh Van Dac Lo) to reach the land of clouds. Bich Van Zen Monastery, located at an altitude of over 2,000m, welcomes visitors and Buddhists from all directions with its traditional Vietnamese architecture amid drifting mist. Walking along the mountain trails with the sound of bells echoing through clouds and wind, at an altitude of 3,000m you will see the Great Amitabha Buddha statue made of bronze, 21.5m high, standing majestically in the mystical clouds, looking down with compassion upon the world.

In this peaceful and sacred moment, as you pray amidst the warm spring atmosphere and budding flowers of rhododendron, raspberry, peach, and plum beginning to bloom, you will feel your heart also blossoming with love and hope.

From the Great Buddha statue, the Arhat path—with 18 bronze Arhat statues, each 2.5m high, standing quietly in the mist—leads you to the Kim Son Bao Thang Pagoda complex, featuring ancient Vietnamese wooden temple architecture from the 15th–16th centuries. Guests may also visit the Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva statue, the Mountain God Temple, and more. Surrounding this sacred space are centuries-old rhododendron trees enduring the cold, preparing to bloom in white, yellow, red, purple, and pink in March and April.

Finally, after climbing 600 stone steps, you will reach the summit of Fansipan at 3,143m above sea level—the “Roof of Indochina.” From here, you can enjoy panoramic views in all directions and experience unforgettable emotions and personal reflections.
