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 persimmons.

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

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 to give some ripe fruits to my relatives and friends,” said Nguyen Thac Dong, a tourist from Huu Kiem commune (Ky Son district).
