Luu Minh Hai, former director of the Lao Cai Hydro-meteorological Station, said that this snowfall is similar to that of February 2021. He predicted that on the following days, snow and rain will continue to fall and cover the top of Fansipan.
The majestic beauty of the mountains and forests combined with the snowy scene give Sa Pa a look of a fairyland. The site is expected to draw a large number of visitors as the New Year holiday is coming.
On December 28 morning, the Sun World Fansipan Legend cable car brought the first visitors to the top of Fansipan to enjoy this impressive scene./.
