Known as the roof of Indochina, Fansipan peak stands majestically and magnificently among the Hoang Lien Mountains of the Northwest mountain strips.
In 1905, the French expedition made a journey to conquer Fansipan peak, making the first foodprint on the top of the mountain and recorded the peak of 3,143 m above sea level.
Enduring nearly hundred years of war  and isolation,  in 1994, local tourism companies based in Sapa were determined to survey and reopen Fansipan mountain climbing route to serve adventure tourists.
Since then, there have been thousands of domestic and foreign tourists - adventurous, motivated and conquering souls who have successfully conquered Fansipan.
To conquer the hiking route, we have to go through densed tropical forests, full of hardships and challenges to reach the top. 
Touch the top of the mountain, take a deep breath, sing the national anthem together and watch the clouds floating at your feet.  My heart is fluttering, How beautiful Vietnam country is !
After conquering Fansipan peak, we continue our trip  descend to Muong Hoa Valley to experience hill colorful people and breathtaking scenery at the bottom of Hoang Lien Son Mountain. Tasting fresh food and stay with local people to understand their culture and customes.
