Mountain Peak must be clear from down in Sapa otherwise waste of money and time.
Sun World Fansipan Legend的点评
点评:Note carefully: if you get up in the morning and cannot see the peak of Fansipan do not go up - wait till it clears in the afternoon. Book it yourself - dont book a tour as no refund for bad weather. We went ourselves and our grab driver had a friend working on Fansipan who said it was raining and cold, and that we should wait for the afternoon as it was predicted to clear. AI Weather told us otherwise and it was our last day so we paid the tickets ($86 aud each)and headed up regardless. Was beautiful blue skies down in Sapa and was predicted to stay like that. As soon as we got to the top in heavy cloud, visibility was zero , raining heavily and 9 degrees celcius. We persevered and took the last 146 steps to the Fansipan peak. The numbers of tourists are insane as many groups go up between 8-1pm. Listen to your locals and find someone who has a friend who works on the mountain. Also try to go 1pm when all the tour groups are leaving. We stood in many long lines which was even worse with the bad weather. We came down about 130pm and by 230 the mountain was so clear blue skies and could visiualise the peak of Fansipan - in hindsight we should have listened to the driver.
翻译:请注意:如果早晨起床后看不到凡西潘峰,就不要上山——请等到下午天气转晴再行动。务必自行购票,切勿参加旅游团,因为天气不佳时无法退款。我们就是自己去的,我们的Grab司机有个朋友在凡西潘工作,他告诉我们当时正下着雨且天气寒冷,建议我们等到下午再上山,因为预报说天气会转晴。然而人工智能天气预测软件给出的结果却相反,而那天又是我们的最后一天行程,因此我们还是购买了门票(每人86澳元),毅然决定上山。萨帕的晴空万里,预计这种天气还会持续。然而当我们顶着浓云登上山顶后,能见度几乎为零,还下着大雨,气温只有9摄氏度。我们咬牙坚持,走完了最后146级台阶,终于登上了凡西潘峰顶。下午8点到1点间有大量旅游团上山,因此游客数量多得离谱。建议听从当地人的建议,找一位在山上工作的朋友带路。另外,尽量在下午1点后前往,那时所有的旅游团都离开了。我们排了好多条长队,糟糕的天气让情况变得更糟。我们下午1点半左右下山,到了2点半时,山上已是晴空万里,我们甚至能清晰地看到凡西潘峰的峰顶——事后想来,我们真该听从司机的建议。
