Wusong Island, on the Songhua River of Jilin City, northeast China’s Jilin Province, displayed on Sunday its wonderful winter scenery with tree branches covered in rime and snow. /VCG Photo
Rime forms when water droplets in fog freeze on objects they get in contact with. The frost normally appears on willows and pine trees. It is a rare event requiring the concurrent occurrence of a number of weather conditions, like a relatively warm and moist air, and calm winds. /VCG Photo
The island is a frozen wonderland during winter, attracting numerous visitors every year. /VCG Photo
Jilin's Rime is known as one of “China's four natural wonders,” along with the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, southern Guilin's Karst and Rivers, and the Stone Forest in southwestern Yunnan Province. /VCG Photo
