From the upper station, passing through Thanh Van Gate (Gate to Heaven), guests enter the land of clouds. At an altitude of over 2,000m, Bich Van Zen Monastery welcomes visitors and Buddhists from all directions with pure Vietnamese architecture surrounded by mist. Walking amid the sounds of bells echoing through the mountains and clouds, at around 3,000m altitude, guests can admire the massive 21.5m tall bronze statue of Amitabha Buddha, standing majestically in the mist and looking down compassionately over the human world.

In this sacred and peaceful moment, guests may offer prayers amidst the warm spring atmosphere, surrounded by blooming buds of rhododendron, raspberry, peach, and plum trees. From here, the Path of Arhats leads to the Kim Son Bao Thang Pagoda complex, featuring ancient Vietnamese wooden temple architecture from the 15th–16th centuries. Guests may also visit the Avalokitesvara (Guanyin) statue and the Mountain Spirit shrine. The scenery is enriched by centuries-old rhododendron trees, quietly awakening after winter and preparing to bloom in white, yellow, red, and pink tones in March and April.

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