A recent snowfall in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has transformed Wenquan County into a breathtaking winter landscape. Blankets of snow cover streets and river valleys, while trees glisten under layers of crystal-clear rime. The stunning scenery has drawn admiration from locals and visitors alike. Rime occurs when moisture in the air freezes directly onto cold surfaces, creating delicate ice formations that sparkle in the winter sun. | CGTN
