Where Dragons Sleep - The Fansipan Temples
The temples atop Fansipan Mountain form part of the Sun World Fansipan Legend spiritual complex, a remarkable network of religious structures built to honour Vietnam’s deep-rooted Buddhist traditions. Perched at over 3000 meters above sea level, this complex has transformed the “Roof of Indochina” from a rugged trekking destination into a place of pilgrimage.


The Myth and Majesty of Fansipan Mountain
Perched 3143 metres above sea level, Fansipan towers over the stunning Hoàng Liên Son mountain range & national park in northern Vietnam. Often called the “Roof of Indochina,” it is the highest point in the country and the broader Indochinese Peninsula. Yet its significance transcends far beyond altitude. Among the swirling clouds and ancient forest paths, Fansipan is a mountain shrouded in ancestral reverence, layered with wartime memories and wrapped in folklore.
