Thousands of Silver Threads of Rime

"Thousands of silver threads of rime" is a truly poetic and picturesque sight! It usually appears in the cold winter, especially in places like Jilin, where the specific climate conditions make the rime scenery particularly spectacular.

When the temperature drops sharply at night, the water vapor in the air directly condenses into ice crystals on the branches, forming what we call rime. The "thousands of silver threads" vividly describe these ice crystals shimmering in the sunlight, like thousands of silver threads hanging on the branches.

In Jilin, the best time to see rime is from late December to the end of February. Especially in the Ashihada Rime Viewing Belt, a popular spot for locals, rime appears frequently. In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight shine on these silver-thread-like rime, the whole world seems to become crystal clear and breathtakingly beautiful.

However, to enjoy such a beautiful sight, you have to get up early! As the sun rises and the temperature gradually increases, the rime will slowly melt and fall off. So, if you want to see the stunning beauty of "thousands of silver threads of rime," you have to hurry and go early!

Also, don't forget to keep warm while watching the rime, as it is in the cold winter!
