When tourists smile and farmers cry in Vietnam

“Snow in Sa Pa” is something tourists always look forward to. Different groups of tourists rush to visit Sa Pa, mostly in order to see the Europe-like snowing there.However, for farmers in Sa Pa, ice and snow are just words of horror. Farmers are frightened of the moment when it starts snowing, as it is when their heavily invested pots of ornamental flowers start withering, and their vegetable crops share the fate.
