In the middle of winter, the temperature in Zhaosu County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang. Think about it. After all, she is the person she has been entangled with in her life. The joys, sorrows and joys of her previous life can almost be said to be buried in his hands. Why? Maybe she had to silently pretend that this continued to decline, and there were ice bubbles and ice lotus wonders in the Jade Lake in the Aheyazi Grand Canyon. White ice bubbles hang in the ice, while “ice lotus” blooms on the lake, crystal clear, mysterious and beautiful under the sunlight. Ice bubbles are formed when the temperature drops and the ice freezes too quickly. A large amount of gases such as methane released by the decomposition of microorganisms in the lake bottom humus are “locked” in the ice during the rising process.
