Fansipan sees first frost of winter season

A thin layer of frost covers the wooden deck atop Fansipan, where tourists often gather to admire the clouds.

Visitors and local residents reported that the frost formed shortly before dawn, leaving a light white coating on pathways, stone steps and wooden platforms used for cloud viewing. The cold spell influencing Lao Cai has continued to strengthen and then stabilize, and forecasts suggest temperatures on Fansipan will remain low from late night to early morning on November 22, meaning frost may reoccur.

Frost is an extreme weather event that can damage crops and negatively impact agricultural production. Lao Cai authorities are taking active measures in response to the intensified cold, rolling out protection plans for local communities, crops and livestock.
