Xinjiang's Tianshan Tianchi: A winter wonderland of rime beauty

00:45

Under the influence of a persistent strong cold air mass, the Tianshan Tianchi scenic area in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region was transformed into a winter wonderland with a vast rime phenomenon. Nighttime temperatures plummeted to around minus 25 degrees, causing vapor from the lake to condense into frost on trees, creating a stunning landscape of "jade trees and crystal flowers" along the valley. Sunlight filtering through the frosted branches cast shimmering reflections on the lake surface, blending silver and water into a serene masterpiece.
