Snow fell in the mountain commune of Y Ty in the northern mountainous province of Lao Cai on early January 11, covering the area under a 15-cm thick layer of snow. Snow is a rare phenomenon in tropical Vietnam, and is only seen in the northern mountainous region during winter. As such, it has always drawn many curious visitors, who are often dubbed “snow hunter”. However, the weather is causing trouble for agriculture and transport. VNA Photo: Quốc Khánh
