Sparkling rime coats trees at Chengde Mountain Resort in N China's Hebei

Photo taken on Jan. 15, 2026 shows a rime landscape along Rehe Spring at the Chengde Mountain Resort scenic area in Chengde City, north China's Hebei Province. Due to large temperature differences between day and night, water vapor over the spring condenses in the cold, forming rime that coats the tree branches in sparkling white.
