📸✨ Nestled in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, the Greater Hinggan Mountains transform into a winter wonderland each year. In the latest episode of \"Journeys in Nature,\" photographer Guo Qingxi takes us on a visual adventure to the Duobukuer River, where \"red willows along the icy river\" create a stunning contrast against the snow-covered landscape.
The vibrant Chosenia arbutifolia, known locally as \"red hair willow,\" dazzles with scarlet branches and fluffy balls in early spring. These unique trees, set against the indigo waters of the icy river, offer a breathtaking sight that's perfect for both nature lovers and photography enthusiasts alike.
The Greater Hinggan Mountains are not just a feast for the eyes. This northernmost region of China boasts dense forests in the summer and incredible snow scenery in the winter. It's also home to diverse wildlife, including snowy owls, corsac foxes, and moose. Whether you're a traveler, student, or nature enthusiast, there's always something new to discover in this rich ecosystem.
Stay tuned for more episodes in the \"Journeys in Nature\" series, where we explore the hidden gems of the Greater Hinggan Mountains and beyond! 🌲❄️📷
