Where there is little snow, like the railings in the park, there is a thin layer, like sweet cream. The river is covered with thick ice, crystal clear, like a huge glass mirror and a whole piece of natural crystal. The eaves of Harbin are covered with bars of ice, which hang down one by one, long or short, clear and transparent, like lines of solidified poetry.
