Winter wonderland in China, just beautiful

[AViet]

Amazing that vetnam has snow in winter......

Yes, even to Vietnamese people.

In 1979 war, our soldiers, seeing snowfall in Ha Giang province, possibly first time in their life, thought it was chemical warfare by Chinese side.

To be more clear, at that time and before, communication and transportation between provinces were very difficult.

Before 1945, the quickest way to go from Lao Cai province to Hanoi was riding horse or car to Kunming city in China, around 300km away, and from there, took a flight to Hanoi.

New trains arrive for the new subway in Changchun

just in some places in Vietnam

It only snows in the mountains in North Vietnam / China border (i.e. Sa Pa)

Did you guys know it also snows in the mountains of Africa?

Snow in mountains is nothing special. Vietnam is not a temperature country with 4 distinct seasons.

Snow in mountains is nothing special. Vietnam is not a temperature country with 4 distinct seasons.

Snow only falls in high elevation of Vietnam. Snow falls in Nghe An this year and Nghe An is more than 100 miles south of Hanoi.
