Original title: Jilin's large-scale rime landscape is beautiful, and the white fog on the river looks like a fairyland
4hw.com.cn, December 19, Jilin City, Jilin Province. Songhua River is full of fog, and a large area of rime landscape is covered for dozens of miles on both sides of the river.
Due to the Songhua River passing through the city, due to the influence of temperature difference and water fog, rime is formed here every year, which is one of the four meteorological wonders in China.
On the same day, a large range of rime scenery appeared along the Songhua River, Riverside Garden, rime island and Ashe village in Jilin City, attracting many tourists to stop and watch.
How does rime form?
In Jilin City, every winter, although the Songhua Lake located in the upper reaches of the city is frozen as iron, the water temperature of tens of meters below the ice layer can still maintain 4 degrees Celsius, and the temperature difference between the water temperature and the ground is usually about 30 degrees Celsius, thus forming a river surface that is not frozen for decades.
The temperature difference makes the river water produce fog, and the white fog curls on the river surface. Under the action of certain air pressure, wind direction, temperature and other conditions, a large number of fog on the river surface will condense on the surrounding branches in the form of frost, forming a large area of rime wonder.
Due to its unique natural conditions, Jilin rime has the characteristics of long duration, large thickness and high frequency.
From late December to the end of February, it is the best time to watch rime.
