Imagine waking up to a city draped in sparkling ice crystals ❄️—that's Urumqi right now! Trees in the Shuimogou Scenic Area have been transformed into a dreamy winter landscape thanks to the formation of rime. 🌲✨
This natural wonder arrived as China entered its 21st solar term, Major Snow, which started on December 7. With temperatures dropping across the country, Urumqi in Xinjiang is embracing the chill in the most beautiful way.
Rime, sometimes called \"tree frosting,\" occurs when water droplets in fog freeze upon contact with cold surfaces. The result? An enchanting scene straight out of a fairy tale! 🧚‍♀️✨
If you're a fan of breathtaking winter views or looking for your next travel inspiration, Urumqi's rime-covered landscapes are a must-see. Pack your warmest coat and get ready for some serious #WinterVibes! 🧥❄️
