I thought the infrastructure for this site was amazing. The different modes of transport required to get to the top all worked very efficiently, allowing large groups of people to move quickly. I had beautiful weather so all the sites were very clear to see. Would totally recommend this as a must do while in Sapa.

The ride is only 10mins. We got there via grab from cat cat village. Would recommend to purchase directly on site instead of online as this seems to be booked through a third party. Please also book earlier at least an hour because the third party will need to contact you for extra details.

Moana Sapa is a highly popular, 10,000-square-meter outdoor photography park located just outside Sapa town center, widely considered one of the most divisive "Instagram-trap" attractions in northern Vietnam. In my opinion it is worth it to go early i the morning when there not many people, because when is too many people it makes it not so enjoyable

A must-visit for those seeking spiritual blessings! Đền Mẫu Lào Cai ⛩️🇨🇳🇻🇳✨ The temple is peaceful and serene, with beautiful East Asian architecture. Inside, it houses deities highly revered by the Vietnamese people. 📍Located right next to the Lao Cai international border crossing, it's conveniently accessible for worship and offers views of the international border. This cultural and historical site is well worth a visit when you're in Lao Cai! 💖🙏

An absolutely breathtaking experience! Riding the cable car up to the 'Roof of Indochina' is spectacular, and the panoramic views from above the clouds are simply unreal. The beautiful temples and the magnificent Buddha statue at the summit make the whole place feel so magical and serene. A definite must-do when visiting Sapa!
