While exploring Hanoi, a city where the exotic chic of old Asia blends with the dynamic face of new Asia, visitors will be surprised by a mass of motorbikes swarms through the tangled web-like streets that is the Old Quarter. Hanoi has it all: the antique and modern co-exist, from the local street shops to modern shopping centers, from local coffee or beer stalls to fine-dining restaurants. Even those familiar with Ha Noi will discover new places they have never encountered before and gain wider understanding of the capital city of 1,000 years

Fansipan Mountain
Fansipan Mountain is located 9 kilometers south-west of Sa Pa, in the Hoang Lien Mountain Range. Branded “the Roof of Indochina” at the height of 3,143m, Fansipan is one of the very few eco-tourist spots of Vietnam with about 2,024 floral varieties and 327 faunal species. It takes six or seven days to reach the 3,143m summit, the highest peak of the Indochina Peninsula. The summit of Fansipan is accessible all year round, but the best time to make the ascent is from mid-October to mid-November, and again in March.
