The familiar trekking route with forest canopy or low grassy hills is now more strange and magical with transparent ice.
Giang Hanh Phuc, a local guide in Mu Cang Chai, said that on January 11, Ta Xua peak in Tram Tau district (Yen Bai) was covered with thick, dense ice. The white ice covered the trekking route, bringing a new experience to tourists.
Mr. Nguyen Trong Cung was also lucky to encounter this strange phenomenon during his trekking trip to Lao Than peak (Y Ty, Lao Cai ). Grass, trees, and small flowers were all covered in a layer of ice.

Previously, on the top of Fansipan, ice continuously appeared for 6 days at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, making tourists curious and excited. However, today, on the roof of Indochina, there is warm sunshine and no ice.
According to information from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, on the night of January 11, cold air continued to strengthen, causing severe cold in the mountainous and midland areas of the North.
