The Shuimogou Scenic Area in Urumqi, Xinjiang, has been transformed into a winter wonderland as rime forms delicately on the trees. This natural phenomenon enhances the already breathtaking landscape, offering visitors a tranquil and picturesque view. As the Chinese mainland enters its 21st solar term of the year, Major Snow, beginning on December 7, temperatures are set to drop significantly across various regions.
Rime, a type of frost, occurs when supercooled water droplets in fog freeze upon contact with surfaces, creating a stunning icy coating. This year, the formation of rime in Shuimogou adds a unique charm to the area, attracting photographers and nature enthusiasts alike.
The onset of Major Snow signals the deepening of winter, bringing colder weather and snowfall that will further shape the region's natural beauty. Locals and tourists can anticipate a season of serene landscapes and opportunities for winter activities amidst the frosted scenery.
