Phu Si Lung
Lai Châu, Vietnam
Mountain shared by Vietnam and People's Republic of China. It lies in northern Vietnam, best visited in autumn or spring.
Why visit: Fansipan and the northern ranges — terraced rice valleys, ethnic minority villages and Indochina's highest peak.
- ›Trek with a local guide and stay in a village homestay
- ›Take the cable car up and walk down if time is short
- ›Pack a warm layer — northern peaks get genuinely cold
- ›Go in the shoulder months; cloud sits on the summits in summer
