A breathtaking dragon-like "ice shove," a stunning natural phenomenon, appeared on Bosten Lake in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, forming a kilometers-long "ice dragon" across the frozen surface.

Shimmering ice slabs piled up under the winter sun, creating a dramatic natural scene that drew crowds of visitors. Formed by shifting temperatures, the rising ice ridges can reach one to two meters high, making this winter phenomenon both rare and visually striking.
