After five years since the first time Vietnam witnessed snowfall in her mountainous provinces in 2016, the region is now once again covered in white snow. In winter this year, the temperature in Lang Son Province’s Mau Son Commune reached a new peak when it dropped to minus three to four degrees Celsius while the temperature in Y Ty Commune in Lao Cai Province was minus two degrees Celsius and other locations were from minus three degrees to zero Celsius.

Many tourists these days have flocked to the mountainous region to admire the unusual bout of frost and snow.
