A city in northern China transformed into a breathtaking winter wonderland with ice-covered trees.

The impressive video was filmed in Genhe City in Inner Mongolia on October 22.

The phenomenon is called hard rime, which is formed when white opaque granular structures, essentially ice crystals, deposit on objects with temperatures below freezing point.

The creation of such a marvel requires a harmonious combination of factors including temperature, wind force, and humidity. It's a rare and captivating spectacle, and witnessing it is akin to glimpsing one of nature's most elusive masterpieces.

10月22日，内蒙古根河市出现2023年入秋以来的首次雾凇。雾凇将群山装扮成了银装素裹的童话世界。

银色的雾凇闪烁在阳光下，与波光粼粼的水面和湛蓝的天空相映成趣，美到让人挪不开眼。

雾凇俗称树挂、冰花。是由于冰晶在温度低于冰点以下的物体上形成的白色不透明的粒状结构沉积物。需温度、风力、水汽等诸多条件合理匹配才能生成，是一种非常难得的自然奇观。
