Urumqi in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region was hit by a heavy snowfall on October 15. The People's Park was blanketed in a sea of white, appearing as if the trees were adorned in jade and the flowers were made of ice. Against the backdrop of the crisp snow and red walls, the overhanging eaves of the ancient architectural complex loomed faintly, and swirling snowflakes added a touch of romance to the city.
