Origin Story 🔍
"Mom, what's that misty mountain ahead?" asks Mầm, pointing at Fansipan 🏔️ through the clouds.
Ngọc smiles, "That's our tallest mountain, sweetie! Long ago, this place was called Lão Nhai - the Old Market, where people from many lands came to trade. The mists were so magical that people started calling it Lào Cai - Gateway to the Clouds!"
