Winter just leveled up in China! Today marks Daxue (Greater Snow), the 21st solar term in the traditional lunar calendar – and trust us, it’s *way* cooler than your average weather forecast. ❄️ As temperatures drop and snow blankets vast landscapes, China transforms into scenes straight out of Frozen (minus the talking snowman, sadly).
From frost-kissed pine forests in Heilongjiang to misty mountain peaks in Yunnan, locals and visitors are embracing:
❄️ Ice festivals with jaw-dropping sculptures
🏔️ Snow hiking trails in the Yellow Mountains
🍲 Heartwarming hotpot feasts with seasonal veggies
Fun fact: The ancient solar terms still guide farming and cultural events! Daxue traditionally meant storing food for winter – but today, it inspires Instagram-worthy adventures. 📸 Pro tip: Check out lesser-known spots like the 'Snow Town' in Mudanjiang for unreal frozen waterfalls and lantern-lit villages!
