Frost covers Fansipan Mountain peak in Lao Cai
VOV.VN - Frost covered the top of Fansipan Mountain, which is the highest peak in Indochina, in Sa Pa town in the northern mountainous province of Lao Cai early on November 23 as temperatures dropped to 2 degrees Celsius.
According to details given by the Lao Cai Province Hydrometeorological Station, the frost formed a thin layer of ice covering the stone steps, wooden floors, and paths on Fansipan, serving to create a picturesque scene at the peak.
This marks the first time that frost has appeared on Fansipan peak since the beginning of the winter.
It is forecasted that over the coming days, temperatures will remain low, with frost predicted to continue to recur on the peak.
Frost can burn leaves and flowers, as well as damaging fruits. If serious, then plants can be completely killed, causing loss of crop production.
Local authorities and agencies are therefore urgently directing locals to apply all measures in a bid to protect plants and animals from the cold.
