Ripe persimmon season in the Mong village of Nghe An

For the past two months, the Mong ethnic village in Tay Son commune (Ky Son district) has been glowing with the red color of ripe persimmon trees. Photo: Dao Tho

When winter comes, the persimmon trees shed all their leaves, leaving only clusters of fruit hanging on the branches, creating a rare beauty. Photo: Dao Tho

On the paths leading to Huoi Giang 1 village, persimmons planted on both sides of the road are also ripe. Photo: Dao Tho

According to the locals, this type of persimmon must be ripe and soft to be edible and has little economic value. Therefore, they only choose a few ripe fruits to give as gifts or to eat at home. Photo: Dao Tho

“Every time the persimmon season comes, I go to Tay Son to play, mainly to pick some persimmons to display in my yard as decorations, and give some ripe fruits to my relatives and friends” – said Mr. Nguyen Thac Dong, a tourist from Huu Kiem commune (Ky Son district). Photo: Dao Tho

Ripe persimmons are also a favorite dish of Mong children in the highlands of Nghe An. Photo: Dao Tho

Many tourists from other places come to Tay Son this season mainly to hunt clouds, admire peach blossoms and wear Mong costumes to “check-in” with the fruit-laden persimmon trees. Photo: Dao Tho
