I can't remember the last time the snow reached my ankles.
It seems like my hometown hasn't had heavy snow for many years. Even two snowfalls a year is a luxury, so even a little sleet can become a hot topic. So I couldn't help but embark on a journey to "find snow."
"Snow Town" has been on my bucket list for a long time. It's always been the place that best represents winter in my heart.
It's famous for its snow, with snowfall from October to April, lasting up to 7 months.
China's Snow Town is a fairytale-like place.
With heavy snow, sticky snow, and a long snow season, the unique geographical location and climate conditions make Snow Town's snow resources unique.
Snow Town is covered with layers of snow, and the residential area of more than 100 households looks like a connected snow house. The snow, shaped by the wind, can be 1 meter thick, resembling galloping horses, lying rabbits, divine turtles, and giant mushrooms, in various shapes, like white clouds falling from the sky.
Snow Town is named for its snow, from the clear ice flowers of early winter to the graceful rime of early spring.
Half of the romance of the Northeast is in Snow Town.
The snow-covered cabins are topped with white mushrooms, like stepping into a fairytale world.
