Delicate filigrees of rime cover trees on Huangshan Mountain in Huangshan city, Anhui province – creating a startling contrast between the pristine white of the leaves and the piercing blue sky. In autumn and winter, rime is formed when mist condenses in the form of frost which engulfs the surrounding branches when it's super cold. [Photo by Wang Xingguo]
With the golden sun rising over the horizon, the mountain has become a fairy tale world wrapped in silver. The probability of icy rime is particularly high in the area in winter, with the average annual rime occurrence in high-altitude scenic spots 62.9 days in late November to early March each year.
