19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Fansipan Legend

Located at an altitude of more than 3000 meters above sea level, the great Buddha statue on top of Mount Fansipan is a unique statue towering above the clouds. To build this statue on the highest mountain in Indochina, the workers had to step by step carry materials on their backs and walk on steep steep trails thousands of meters high to the top of the mountain. It was truly a miracle.
