Accordingly, people from Lai Chau, Hoa Binh, Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Son La and Dien Bien provinces will enjoy preferential prices of VND400,000 per each adult, VND250,000 per each child of 1 - 1.3 meters, while children under 1 meter can ride free of charge. The discounts are applied from Monday to Friday.

The discounts aim to create more chances for people in the mountainous provinces to conquer Fansipan peak, the roof of Indochina which was recognized with two Guinness Records: the world's longest three-strand cable car (6,292.5 meters) and the world's biggest height gap (1,410 meters) between its departure and arrival stations.

Put into operation from February 2016, the telpher is attracting thousands of tourists each day, contributing to creating driving force for the tourism development of Sapa in particular and Lao Cai in general./.
