The grace of winter in Xiuwen

Trees along the roads of Dashi Bouyei town of Xiuwen county are covered with glistening icicles, forming a stunning winter scene of ice-cloaked branches.

These ice pendants encase the branches as if they were carved from crystal, refracting a translucent glow in the morning light and revealing the unique beauty of the countryside.
