Golden Autumn on Cao Ly Peak

Autumn arrives on Cao Ly Peak in Hoanh Mo Commune, bringing drifting morning mist and cloaking the mountain slopes in golden hues, sometimes glowing brightly in the sunlight and at other times fading into the haze beneath drifting clouds. Adding to the charm of autumn on Cao Ly Peak are the vibrant cultural colours of local ethnic communities and a variety of distinctive traditional folk games.
