Aerial photo taken on Dec 11 reveals dreamlike rime frosting the landscape along the banks of Songhua River in Jilin city, Jilin province, creating an otherworldly view. Rime, also known as snow willow or ice flowers, is the ice crystals that condense on tree branches when frost meets water vapor. The phenomenon, common in Jilin's winters, comes from the super-cold weather and surrounding warmer waters. [Photo/Xinhuanet.com]
