According to the Ky Son district government, during the early spring planting season of 2024, thousands of cherry trees were planted in Ky Son and will continue to be expanded in the coming time. The trees are suitable for the climate and soil, so they grow well and some have already bloomed. This will be a highlight to attract more tourists to Ky Son. Photo: Dao Tho
