This is the fifth time that frost has appeared on Fansipan peak since the beginning of this winter.

Frost can burn leaves and flowers, and damage fruits. If serious, plants can be completely killed, causing loss of crop production.

The Lao Cai Hydro-Meteorological Station forecasts that in the early morning of February 15, the temperature on Fansipan will remain low and frost will continue to occur.

Local authorities and agencies are urgently directing locals to apply all measures to protect plants and animals from cold.
