On the road from the center of Ky Son district to the border commune of Nam Can, it's not uncommon to see people traveling by motorbike wearing multiple layers of clothing to protect themselves from the cold, with midday temperatures only reaching 4-5 degrees Celsius. Photo: Xuan Hoang

Even when it wasn't raining, people still wore raincoats to keep warm and protect themselves from the cold wind. Photo: Quang An

The jacket was transformed into a blanket, and people covered themselves completely when going out. Photo: Xuan Hoang

The biting cold was evident on the face of the little girl, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Va Y Xu in Truong Son village, Nam Can commune, even though she was wearing a woolen sweater and a warm hat. Photo: Quang An

People in Ky Son district have to constantly light fires to keep warm. Xeo Van Duc, from Nam Can commune, said that every day his family goes to the forest to work in the fields, they always make sure to carry firewood back to store for lighting fires to keep the whole family warm, because even wearing many layers of clothing is not enough to withstand the cold.

Reportedly, the weather in the coming days will continue to be severely cold. The Ky Son district government has issued a directive to communes to strengthen measures to prevent hunger and cold for people as well as livestock and poultry. Photo: Quang An

Mr. Lang Thanh Luong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Nam Can commune, said that during these days of severe cold, the local authorities have been disseminating information to the people on how to protect themselves and their livestock from the cold. However, due to the characteristics of the high mountainous region, which often experiences cold weather in winter, most people have proactively prepared firewood for heating. Photo: Xuan Hoang
