Maybe
You've seen the mountain flowers of Kanas spring,
I have seen the cattle and sheep everywhere in summer,
I've seen the autumn forest dyed,
But, friend,
Have you ever known about winter in Kanas?
Kanas in winter fades the charm of autumn
Quiet as a virgin, the mountains are covered in snow
Any touch of color is stunning
In the wake-up of Kanas Lake
Slowly brush away the smoke-filled world
In the world of hearing drifting snow
Feel the silence
The snow here has the toughness of the northern snowfields
It also has the poetry of the flowing water of the southern snow bridge
Vast snowfields, quaint wooden houses
It reveals a charm that belongs to Kanas alone
Snow in the wooden house in the distance
Layered like cream
Embellished on a white drawing board
It's like a freehand splash of ink Chinese painting
In this clear and peaceful winter day
Look up at the stars
Take a shot
It is the most beautiful picture
Hemu, an idyllic village, many people come to see its autumn scenery, but they do not know that the winter scenery of Hemu is also a beautiful scenery.
Standing on the observation deck at the head of Hemu Village, looking at the wooden house under the snow, it seems that the village that existed only in the fairy tale is now truly displayed in front of you, where you encounter a fairy tale in the ice and snow.
The smoke of the grass trees rising in the early winter morning, combined with the morning fog that surrounds the surroundings, dots the village like a fairyland on earth, so that visitors to visit here feel the tranquility and peace that can never be felt in urban life.
China's Urho
The Devil's Town of the World
It's amazing to meet you in winter
Meet the next season of breathtaking
Under the long-term action of nature, the devil's city of Urho forms a dense and patchwork sandstone strange shape
From a distance, it looks like a castle, which stands majestically in the vast desert of the Gobi, which makes people marvel at its grandeur and majesty, and lament the magic city under the snow cover of nature in winter, which is less depressed than the past, and appears more quiet.
In winter, the "last tear of the Atlantic" Sailim Lake is wrapped in silver, the snow gushes and condenses, and the verdant pines and white snow are reflected in each other, forming a magnificent scenery of the northern forest and sea snowfield.
It's like magic, everything is still, waiting for the spring to blossom and everything to revive.
The snowy mountains in the distance, the icebergs in the near distance, the blue sky in the distance, and the "clear water" in the near distance seem to be the beloved paintings of an outstanding painter.
The most remarkable thing about Sailim Lake is the blue ice that occurs in winter, the wonders of ice bubbles, and the bubbles containing air floating under the frozen lake surface, so Sailim Lake is also known as Ice Bubble Lake.
What is the cause of blue ice?
In the harsh winter, the ice becomes more and more dense and hard, squeezing out the air inside, and the pores inside the ice continue to shrink and disappear, slowly becoming crystal clear.
At this time, the red-orange light with long wavelength and strong diffraction ability in sunlight can penetrate the ice layer, and the blue light with shorter wavelength is scattered by the dense and thick ice layer.
Ice cubes take on a crystal-like blue color, which is the same reason why the sky (atmospheric scattering) and the sea (water scattering) are blue.
In winter, Sailim Lake has become a world of ice and snow, quiet and cold, but also full of life.
