Experience the Glass Bridge in Vietnam

Experience “the longest Glass Bridge in Indochina”, The Sapa Glass Bridge (also called Cau Kinh Rong May which means Dragon in Cloud Glass Bridge) which is 60m long and 5m wide, however, at the height of more than 2000m above sea level. The view from Sapa Glass Bridge is absolutely stunning which was built on the top of O Quy Ho Pass and at more than 500m of Hoang Lien Son Mountain cliff height. #travelwithme #caukinhrongmay #sapa #vietnam

The roof of Indochina

#indonesiatrip Fansipan is Amazing! The cable car ride up the mountain gives nice views of rice paddies below, and waterfalls on the way up. Once there, if you want to limit the climbing there is a funicular that takes you almost to summit. Then it’s a short climb to the summit at 3,143 meters / 10,312 ft, the highest in Indochine region.The weather up here is very unpredictable, it may be sunny at the bottom of mountain and covered in clouds at the summit. To be sure, you should bring jackets and rain gear as its windy up there and rainy at times. But the clouds are the constant. You are so high you are essentially “in the clouds” or above them. So we had to wait 2 hours for 3 brief 5 seconds of “cloud clearance” to get some amazing shots of this mountain top.overall awesome

Backdrop of scenic 🏔️

Walking on the glass bridge you will be able to enjoy views like this and sometimes it can make you feel that you are above the cloud, however that depends on the season that you come. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or simply seeking a new experience, the Sapa Glass Bridge offers a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that will stay with you forever. #familytrips2024 #vietnamtrip

Walking into the clouds

Walking on a transparent floor hundreds of meters above the ground gives an adrenaline rush, combining excitement with a sense of wonder. And some maybe shaking their legs while walking 🙈 when I go, it’s a rainy weather and the glass floor is very slippery and very difficult to walk, so when you come here do take note to wear proper footing and enjoy the magnificent views. #familytrips2024 #vietnamtrip

The roof of Indochina

#vietnamtrip Please please don't ever miss this place if you are ever in Sa Pa. Our tour leader recommended coming in the afternoon because the weather more often than not is not good in the morning meaning you come up and see nothing. But coming in the afternoon also won't guarantee a clear weather so it really depends on the weather. The view is magnificent! Truly one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen. To go to the peak you can either climb the stairs or ride the furnicular. It costs 200, 000 VND return and 120, 000 VND one way. I climb my way up and use the furnicular down but I recommend use the furnicular up and use the stairs your way down. Worth it I tell you even at the end of it I couldn't even feel my legs LOL. There is also a cafe at the peak and you can enjoy a variety of coffee and drinks pricing ranging from 85, 000 VND and above while enjoying the view.

Phan Xi Pang aka Fansipan

#vietnamtrip Phan Xi Pang aka Fansipan, is the highest peak mountain in Indochina region. With in elevation of about 3120 metres. In 2016 they built a world class cable car system. And has to climb many steps at the top, optionally there is a Funicular car system that talked you from near the cable car end to the top. It's supposed to be spiritual and Vietnams highest point. It's very cold at the top and very strong winds can blow. The Pagoda and the Buddha statue and the temple are all good to visit. At the pinnacle they have a few photo points
