(Baonghean.vn) - Also on this occasion last year, we went up to Ky Son when we heard that the record cold caused snow to fall in this land of 'high land, low sky'.The amazing phenomenon that we only see in European movies is happening right before our eyes, right in the border area of Nghe An. But truly, to me, the most beautiful and splendid feature of Ky Son village is the days when the ice and snow melt.

In early 2016, snow fell on Pu Xai Lai Leng and many other peaks in Ky Son, turning a large area of the borderland white as if it were somewhere in the west. Photo: Thanh Cuong. |

For some people who love to travel, perhaps, the cold weather and the appearance of ice and snow are considered lucky things for them to explore freely, but for the indigenous people in the border area of Ky Son, what they want is favorable, warm weather for crops and fruits to flourish.

On the roads where the snow had not yet melted, the people of Ky Son walked silently in the cold. They covered themselves with scarves and shirts. Only the edges of their scarves, umbrellas, and exposed eyes let us know that they were Mong people. Photo: Sach Nguyen. |
