(Baonghean.vn) - Succulent plants brought from the forest by the Thai people in Noọng Dẻ village (Nậm Cắn commune, Kỳ Sơn district) and planted naturally on the verandas of their stilt houses create a rare beauty in this border region.
Noọng Dẻ village is home to the majority of the Thái Kháng ethnic group. Located on National Highway 7, which runs from Mường Xén town to the Nậm Cắn border gate, the village is situated along winding mountain passes, creating a picturesque scene.

"We brought this plant from the forest and planted it. After only two years, because it thrives in the cold weather, almost every household has a few pots," said Mrs. Cụt Mẹ Văn (a resident of Noọng Dẻ).

Cultivating such impressive succulent arrangements requires meticulous care and attention.

During this season, people plant succulents alongside other flowers, creating a unique and beautiful landscape. Photo: Dao Tho
