Is there a rime landscape in Huangshan, Anhui?

Affected by cold air, the Huangshan Scenic Area in Anhui Province was filled with fog on the morning of March 8, attracting many Chinese and foreign tourists to watch and take photos.

Rime, commonly known as tree hanging, is a milky white ice crystal deposit formed by direct condensation of water vapor in the air at low temperature or direct freezing of supercooled water droplets on objects. This is a very rare natural wonder.

Rime is not ice or snow, but the result of fog on branches and other objects freezing below zero degrees Celsius and viscous water vapor piling up with the wind, which shows as white opaque granular structure deposits. The formation of rime requires low temperature and sufficient water vapor, and it is even more rare to have these two extremely important and contradictory natural conditions for the formation of rime.

The word "rime" first appeared in "The Woods" compiled by the Song Dynasty (420-479 AD) in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Its explanation is: "The cold is as cold as a pearl, but the sunlight is gone. Qilu is called rime." This is the word "rime" first recorded in the literature.
