Trees along the Harbin section of the Songhua River in Harbin, capital of China's northernmost Heilongjiang province, were covered in rime on the morning of Jan 27.
 
Rime is a special type of frost — granular tufts of ice — that appears only when atmospheric conditions are right and water vapor meets cold air.
 
Rime on trees creates a spectacular sight, turning the city into a dreamy landscape and attracting many residents and tourists to enjoy the stunning scenery.
