"Autumn in Sa Pa has clear blue skies and wide views. You can see the whole Muong Hoa valley and the mountains from the cable car cabin to the top of Fansipan. The weather is dry, there is little rain, the roads are not slippery, making it convenient for traveling," he shared.

The Sun World Fansipan Legend spiritual cultural complex is the second project built on the top of Fansipan after the cable car system. The entire complex stretches from an altitude of 2,900m to 3,143m, including 12 projects, bearing the spirit of ancient Vietnamese pagodas in the North in the 15th-16th centuries.

The highlight of this complex is Kim Son Bao Thang Tu, located at an altitude of over 3,000m.

From here, visitors can follow La Han Street or winding stone stairs to learn more about beautiful spiritual architectural works. The bronze statue of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, the largest bronze statue of Amitabha Buddha in Vietnam, Bich Van Thien Tu or Vong Linh Cao Dai - the tower with 5 bronze bells are considered by many visitors to be wonderful check-in spots.

Mr. Khoa Hung shared: "When we were at the cable car station, the weather was still sunny and beautiful, but when we reached the top, it was foggy. However, the landscape was still extremely magnificent. The harmonious combination of majestic nature and spiritual works here made us feel like we were lost in a Buddhist paradise."
