October 23 marks Frost's Descent, or Shuangjiang, on China's 24 solar terms. It is the last solar term of the autumn season, which marks the transition from late autumn into winter.

When the water vapor is close to the ground, it condenses into tiny icicles due to the low ground temperature. Enjoying chrysanthemums, eating persimmons and hiking during this period. In this video, appreciate the calligraphic beauty of 霜降, the Chinese characters for Shuangjiang.
