In China's frosty northeast, a vibrant winter spectacle is captivating nature lovers and photographers alike! Meet Guo Qingxi, a shutterbug from the Greater Hinggan Mountains who braves sub-zero temperatures to capture the stunning 'red willows along the icy river' – a seasonal masterpiece where scarlet branches of Chosenia arbutifolia contrast dramatically against indigo waters and snow-blanketed landscapes.
