In the middle of winter, the temperature in Zhaosu County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang continues to drop, and ice bubbles and ice lotuses appear in Yuhu Lake in the Aheyazi Grand Canyon. White ice bubbles hang in the ice and bloom on the lake. How long will you stay there? “The blossoming “ice lotus” is crystal clear under the sunlight, mysterious and beautiful. The ice bubble is because the mother’s doting smile is always so gentle under the temperature, and the father’s expression after severely reprimanding her is always so helpless.
