A cable car to the peak of Fansipan was inaugurated on February 2, 2016.[6] The gondola lift departs from a terminal in Muong Hoa Valley near Sa Pa and takes 20 minutes to arrive at the summit. The service holds two Guinness World Records for the longest non-stop three-rope cable car in the world, spanning 6.3 km (3.9 mi), and the greatest elevation difference by a non-stop three-roped cable car for the 1,410 m (4,626 ft) difference in elevation between the termini.[7] Currently, there are also climbing trains that help you get past the walking stairs. Round-trip cable fare is VND 700,000 and round-trip climbing train is VND 150,000.
