Four natural wonders of China: rime island

rime island

Rime island is an island on the Songhua River, located in Manchu Town, Wula Street, Longtan District, Jilin City, Jilin Province. Hantun and Zengtongtun villages in Wula Manchu Town are the places where rime is most concentrated, and they are also the best places to watch and photograph rime. Especially in Zengtong village, there is a saying that "you can enjoy the rime and go to Zengtong". The best viewing season in rime island is from the end of 65438+February every year to the end of February the following year, and the ideal shooting time of rime every day is between 10 and1:30.

The trees on both sides of Songhua River are lush, and the water mist in the river will condense into frost flowers and hang on the trees when it meets cold air in winter. Meteorology calls it "Fog Song", and locals call it "Tree Hanging", the four natural wonders of China.

brief introduction

Rime island is named for its beautiful rime. The terrain here is lower than that of Jilin City, and it is surrounded by rivers. Cold and hot air meet here, and trees hang almost every day in winter, sometimes they don't fall for days.

Rime is an ice crystal condensed on branches and leaves by fog and water vapor, which can be divided into granular and crystalline. Granular rime has a compact structure and forms small ice cubes, while crystalline rime has a loose structure and a large sheet shape. The rime in Jilin is crystalline.

Rime island explained in detail.

Since 199 1, the Song and Wu Ice and Snow Festival has been held once a year in Jilin. The rime in Jilin City has long been known, but most people know the Shili long dike in the urban area, but few people know that there is a rime island in the lower reaches of Songhua River, which is 35 kilometers away from the urban area of Jilin. Rime island is named for its beautiful rime. There are many kinds of trees here. The weeping willows by the river are full of white and glittering frost flowers, and the river wind blows silver. The scenery is wild and beautiful. Rime, commonly known as tree hanging, is one of the four wonders of China. As the saying goes, "Watch the fog at night, watch the hanging in the morning, and enjoy the falling flowers at noon", which means the process of rime from scratch and from scratch. The spectacle of rime attracted countless tourists. The most famous rime scenic spots are Jilin, Lushan and Huangshan, among which "Jilin rime is a wonder of the world". Rime island is next to Zengtong Island, and Hantun is a good place for photographers to live across the river.

The rime in Jilin is the most magical in the world. Jilin rime, Guilin landscape, Yunnan Shilin and the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River are also called the four natural wonders of China. Rime is not snow or ice, but frost hanging on the branches. Looking along the Songhua River, pine, willow, frost, snow, jade, silver, white clouds and snow waves are spectacular. The best place to see rime in Jilin is rime island in the lower reaches of Songhua River. Most people who came here before were photographers, but now, more and more tourists know about it.

Best viewing season

Rime only appears in winter. The best season to see rime in Jilin is from the end of June to the end of February, because the formation of rime has its unique environment and conditions.

Island entertainment

From Wusong to Zengtong rime island, which is nearly 40 kilometers away from Jilin City, the terrain is lower than that of Jilin City, surrounded by rivers, and hot and cold air meet. The fog rising in winter often covers this island of nearly 6 square kilometers, and sometimes the sun can't be seen all day. In this weather, the rime hanging on the tree will not fall off, and another layer will be hung at night.

Next to rime island is Zeng Tong. Once the trees were strange, the weeping willows by the river were full of white and glittering frost flowers, and the river wind blew silver, as white as a fairyland forgotten by the world.

Opposite rime island is the Hantun River in Wula Street. Wula Street is a Manchu town. Most people who live here are descendants of Manchu banners. Hantun is a small village, located on the Songhua River. Now that there are more people coming, villagers will decorate some rooms at home for tourists to live in. Paper windows, burnt kang, walls covered with newspapers. The host is cooking in the wooden shed, and the air is filled with the smell of kitchen smoke unique to farmers [video]. You have to sit cross-legged on the kang like a northeast person, eat farm food in a big bowl and drink northeast corn wine, all with the unique flavor of black land. After drinking a pot of soju, everyone will be infected by the simple and generous here, and the chill and sleepiness will disappear without a trace. What's it like to be happy in winter? I'm afraid it's just a bowl of hot soju and stewed mushrooms with chicken.

If you can get up early the next morning, you can watch the sunrise. The morning in rime island is beautiful, the Songhua River flows quietly, and the withered branches of trees are in the distance. Because the river is above zero, there is "steam" on the river surface, and the wind blows the steam away, just like being in a fairyland.

Rime can be filmed not only in rime island, but also in several other places. For example, Wujiashao on the west side of Fengmanba in the southeast of Jilin City, which is 0/8km away from the urban area/KLOC-,and the west line of Jifeng Highway are all good places to shoot rime. But in recent years, the city has developed rapidly, and many buildings and halls have been built along the river. Natural things are constantly being destroyed, and gradually more people come to travel and fewer people come to take pictures. The same is true of the middle section of Songjiang Road in the urban area. Modern high-rise buildings are all decorations, and the rime in winter is just embellishment. So the rime in the natural state is still rime island. During the Spring Festival in recent years, I don't know how many movie friends traveled thousands of miles, and even Wan Li came here to enjoy the rime and shoot the rime reflecting snow.
