The "Huaxi Mufeng Snow Hot Spring Tourist Resort" in Benxi County, the hometown of maple leaves, is located in Hubao Village of Caohezhang, the locals on the south side of the mountain on its south side call it "Eagle's Beak", at the foot of its mountain, there is a "warm in winter and cool in summer temperature anomalous belt", which can be described as a natural wonder. It's May Day, so let's take a look at the saffron flowers blooming on the ice.
Ice, which represents winter, symbolizes cold, and flowers, which represent spring, symbolizes warmth, but here it is intertwined into the phenomenon of "ice and fire", which is really rare.

Yingshan Red Geological Wonder Park is located in Huaxi Mufeng Snow Hot Spring Town Geological Wonder - Glacier Geological Zone (commonly known as the local windy land), with a length of 413 meters, at the end of April and early May every year on the glacier geological belt, wild Yingshan Red Flower is competing to open, like a pink ribbon around the foot of the mountain, and the icicles covered with the glacier belt are contrasting, the scenery is strange and magnificent. In addition, you can enjoy a different scenery every month with lush moss like a green carpet, a proud white birch, wild lilacs that bloom in June, and a red prince brocade that blooms from June to July. There is also an extremely cold ice cave in the park, and even in the middle of summer, the temperature is below 0°C, and you can feel the "deep coolness" in the middle of winter after walking into the extreme cold ice cave for 5 seconds, and the effect is excellent to cool off.
This is a free leisure activity area on the periphery of the "Huaxi Mufeng Snow Hot Spring Tourist Resort", which is full of complete natural scenery.
The first thing you feel when you walk in here is that it's very cool, and the temperature outside is 25 degrees Celsius, but it doesn't feel like more than 10 degrees here.
The saffron blooms more than ten days later than elsewhere
Here there is an ice belt underneath and a blooming saffron on the top, which can be said to be extremely rare.
And this phenomenon is not unique here, there is also a so-called ice cave on the northern slope of "Banzai Mountain" in our prefecture, and this ice can also be seen in the middle of summer. According to my observations, the main cause of this kind of geology is that the underground in these places is not the ordinary bedrock layer of ordinary mountain ranges, nor the alluvium of river channels, but a large area of weathered rock accumulation, which is called "stone cellar" in our folk. There are quite a lot of gaps between the rocks in these rock layers, which can store a lot of air, and on its surface, over time, a layer of soil will be formed, on which various trees will grow, which is like having a quilt, which plays the role of insulation. There will be many gaps exposed in this "stone cellar", and the temperature outside will flow in and out with these voids.
As a result, a huge storage space was formed, which became known as the "Ice Cave". Because air is not good at heat transfer, its displacement takes time and is often very lagging. For example, the cold air of minus 30 degrees in winter has filled the ice cave in a winter, so in the spring it will slowly release the cold air inside, which has more than ten degrees below zero, and when it encounters the humid air outside, it will condense into ice, which is the picture seen here. The size of the volume of the stone cellar determines the existence of the ice cave.
In the summer, when the cold air in the ice cave is released, it begins to store the hot air of summer, and in the same way, these places tend to be unusually warm in winter, a phenomenon that has been found in many places, which is the principle of the so-called "warm in winter and cool in summer".
Combined with the fact that the high-ranking iron ore mine in our county will feel the cold air coming out of the ground when mining the surface layer of the stone cellar, which directly confirms the function of the stone cellar to store cold air, which should belong to the small-scale temperature anomaly of the surface layer, which has nothing to do with the so-called "glacial geological zone". Most of the common geothermal anomalies are hot springs caused by geothermal heat, and low temperature anomalies are probably not so simple.
Then there are two conditions necessary for the formation of this kind of ice cellar, one is that these stone cellars have high mountains nearby, which is the source of the stones that can produce the stone cellars, and the other is that these sites must be on the "back slope" of the mountain, because the back slope is not as drastic as the cold and hot changes of the sunny slope.
Of course, I am not an expert, and what I am saying is only my own conclusions through observation, and I only represent my personal opinion.
This is the place where the performance is most prominent, the ice is the most, and the stone cellar is unmistakable.
This area is more than 400 meters long, and its width may extend all the way to the middle of the mountain, which means that it has a large volume.
I didn't read much, I grew up watching "100,000 Whys", I was interested in many natural phenomena, and of course I often read the books left to me by my father, who was a civil and mining engineer.
Thank you for your attention!
