Nothing in Asia Prepared Me for This Place 🇻🇳 (Fansipan Summit)

Nothing in Asia Prepared Me for This Place 🇻🇳 (Fansipan Summit)

Let me just say this—Asia has thrown a lot at me. I’ve hiked through the rice terraces of Bali, ziplined across waterfalls in Laos, slurped bowls of noodles in Bangkok that made me cry happy tears, and yes, I’ve even dodged mopeds like a real-life game of Frogger in Hanoi. Get you Fansipan Tickets from Klook here: https://paradiseadventures.live/FansipanKlook But nothing—and I mean nothing—prepared me for Mount Fansipan. You know, the roof of Indochina? That 3,143-meter beast towering over Sapa, Vietnam? Yeah. That one. This wasn’t just a mountain. It was a spiritual climb, a foggy dreamscape, a wild ride involving mountain trains, cable cars, mythological legends, and more stairs than I ever want to see again in my life. Let’s rewind, shall we? Get my free travel tips and hacks guide here https://paradiseadventures.live/southeast-asia-travel-tips-and-hacks-free-guide/ 🚂 The Sapa Mountain Train – All Aboard the Scenic Hype Express The journey kicked off in the adorable mountain town of Sapa, Vietnam, a place that looks like Switzerland and smells like pho. Not bad, right? I hopped on the Sapa Mountain Train, and let me tell you—it’s not your average chug-chug locomotive. This thing is the charming lovechild of vintage Europe and modern Vietnamese flair. You’re whisked through lush greenery, fog-kissed hills, and alpine-style villages that feel plucked from a fairytale. It takes a lot of coffee to make a travel vlog: You can buy me a coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ParadiseAdvntr 🚡 The Cable Car – Floating Over the Clouds Okay, deep breath. The Fansipan cable car ride is where things start to get magical. And mildly terrifying. It’s one of the longest and highest cable car systems in the world—designed by Sun World Sapa, of course, because apparently they love building insane stuff in the sky. It climbs 1,410 meters over a span of 6.3 kilometers—yeah, it’s a monster. But oh my Fansipan Legend, is it gorgeous.

This isn’t just some big hill with a great view. This is the Fansipan Legend. The summit of Vietnam. The highest point in all of Indochina. It’s a place of spiritual energy, local legends, and epic selfie potential. It’s also not the final stop—surprise! There’s still a lot of stairs to climb. But pause for a second. Take in the surroundings.

The Amitabha Buddha. Towering 21.5 meters tall, cloaked in bronze and mist, he stands guard like a gentle giant watching over Vietnam. No photo will do him justice. Not even close. You just have to stand there, mouth open, and feel it.

I Got a Haircut at the World’s Most Luxurious Barbershop ✂️💈🇻🇳

I Got a Haircut at the World’s Most Luxurious Barbershop ✂️💈🇻🇳 In the heart of Hanoi, I found the world’s most luxurious barbershop—where hot towel shaves, vintage vibes, and a gentleman’s whiskey lounge meet. It wasn’t just a haircut. It was a rite of passage. Imagine walking into a barbershop where everyone looks like they time-traveled from a 1920s cigar lounge. Now add whiskey, a live jazz soundtrack, and a hot towel facial that'll put your overpriced spa to shame. This place? It’s called House of Barbaard, and it just might be Vietnam’s most luxurious barbershop. Or maybe the world’s. I didn't just go for a haircut. I went for the experience. And oh boy—did it deliver.

Why I'm NEVER Going Back to Australia (It's Not What You Think)

Why I'm NEVER Going Back to Australia (It's Not What You Think) So, get this. A single loaf of bread in Sydney can set you back ten dollars. Yes. TEN. DOLLARS. I can already hear the excuses: "Oh, but that's just from some fancy artisan bakery in Surry Hills!" Mate, it doesn't matter. It's a flashing red warning light on the dashboard of a country that's driving full-pelt off a cliff. That same loaf of bread costs me about $1.70 here in Bangkok. In Vietnam, it’s a buck. Let that sink in for a second. Look, don't get me wrong. I love Australia. I miss the footy with my mates, the smell of a backyard barbie on a Sunday arvo, and the simple, friendly "how ya goin'?" from a complete stranger. There are days when I genuinely believe it's the best country in the world. So why did I leave? Why did I decide that I'm never going back to Australia? Because the "fair go" has become a fairy tale. The "she'l...
