In chilly Heilongjiang, rime ice dazzles

People in Mohe, Heilongjiang province, China's northernmost city, enjoyed their first rime ice views of the season in recent days.

With the passing of a cold front, temperatures in the region began to slump on Wednesday, bringing frost and creating the natural beauty of soft rime.

Rime is a special type of frost — granular tufts of ice — that appears only when atmospheric conditions are right and water vapor meets cold air.

Rime on trees creates a spectacular sight, turning the city into a dreamy landscape and attracting many residents and tourists to the city's forest park to take pictures.
