Snow in tropical Vietnam

[Journeyman]

Very rare but it does snow in tropical country like Vietnam in the past few days

Not rare at all. It can snow in various parts of mountainous areas in north Vietnam.

If you read the books about life in the past, there used to be a lot more snow in winter than now. For example "đường về với mẹ chữ" by Vi Hong, which described the hard life in Cao Bang province in the early days of newly-liberated North Vietnam (1954-1955)

Quoted "we are the children of Cao Bang, the land of long snowy days in winter"...

Very interesting..

I always assumed “wrongly” That Vietnam always had tropical weather.

Nice, and is this a higher altitude, hilly area ? Winter is generally on it's way out from the tropical region, whatever degree of winter they get.

edit: ok, mountainous region then, still, nice to see, beautiful pics
