A big snow hits Dashidong village in Ningwu county, Xinzhou city of North China's Shanxi province, turning the small village into a marvelous fairyland of snow and ice. The village's fields, hills, paths, and roof are covered with thick snow. The weather is cold in the village because it is located in a canyon. As its sunshine duration is short, the snow melts slowly, preserving for a time a wonderful place for tourists to enjoy the beauties of winter. [Photo/www.news.cn]
