The journey to the top of Fansipan begins in the town, from the Hotel de la Coupole – McGallery by Sofitel, set to be finished in December 2018. Just beside the 5-star mega hotel, the beautiful Sun Plaza Sapa Station stands in a vivid French colonial style, along with many other of the buildings around this former French hill town. The station is located in the centre of the town, about 600m away from Sapa Lake, requiring about an 8-10 minute walk or a taxi taking just 3 minutes. Sun World’s idea with the train was to make it available for everyone and to that end, the route to the station is mostly flat and its access shouldn’t pose a problem, even for the elderly.
