Scenic spot introduction:

Jilin Rime Island is the best place in China to appreciate rime. Jilin's rime is also known as one of China's four natural wonders. Looking along the embankment of Songhua River, you can see pines and willows covered with frost and snow, and jade covered with silver. It is the best shooting location for photography enthusiasts and a popular choice for tourists in winter. Rime is commonly known as tree hangings. There is a saying, "Look at the fog at night, look at the hangings in the morning, and wait until nearly noon to appreciate the falling flowers." This is the process of rime coming from nothing, and from being to nothing. Jilin has long been famous for its rime. The trees here have strange shapes and the scenery is both wild and beautiful, like a fairyland forgotten by the world. The heavy fog that rises in winter often covers this small island of nearly 6 square kilometers, and sometimes the sun cannot be seen for a day. In particular, villages such as Hantun and Zengtongtun in Wula Street Manchu Town are the places where rime is most concentrated. Every year, a large number of tourists and photographers come here to visit.
Jilin also holds the "Rime Ice and Snow Festival" every year. You can live in traditional houses, sleep on fire beds, eat farm-style meals, and drink Northeastern corn wine, all with the unique style of the black soil. After drinking a pot of wine, everyone will be infected by the simple and generous here, and the chill and sleepiness will disappear without a trace. In the early morning of the next day, we watched the sunrise, admired the rime, and took photos to commemorate. An unforgettable journey was so perfect.
