Vietnam launches award winning cable car to Mt Fansipan
This week saw the inauguration of a cable-car route to the summit of northern Vietnam’s Fansipan Mountain. The trip to the top of the 3,143-metre-high mountain now takes 15 minutes. Until the launch of the cable-car service, the ascent involved a two-day trek which was extremely popular with intrepid Vietnamese and international tourists.
