Fansipan, Mountain peak in Lào Cai Province, Vietnam.
Fansipan reaches an elevation of 3,143 meters, making it the highest mountain peak in the Hoàng Liên Son range of northern Vietnam.
The first recorded ascent of Fansipan occurred during a Soviet expedition in 1985, marking the beginning of mountaineering activities on this Vietnamese peak.
The mountain holds deep meaning for local ethnic minority groups who have lived in its valleys for generations, maintaining their traditional agricultural practices.
A modern cable car system, installed in 2016, carries visitors over 6 kilometers from the base to the summit in approximately 15 minutes.
The summit features a metal pyramid installed by Soviet engineers, alongside a monumental statue of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara at this elevation.
