吉林霧凇是中國四大自然奇觀之一，與桂林山水、云南石林和長江三峽齊名。它以其獨(dú)特的自然條件和壯觀的景象，每年吸引著無數(shù)游客前來觀賞。霧凇的形成與松花湖的特殊地理環(huán)境密切相關(guān)，冬季時，盡管湖面冰封，湖底的水溫仍能保持在4℃左右，從而形成了不封凍的江面。在特定的氣候條件下，江面上的霧氣會凝結(jié)在樹枝上，形成壯觀的霧凇景觀。吉林霧凇以其持續(xù)時間長、厚度大、出現(xiàn)頻率高而著稱，每年12月下旬至翌年2月底是觀賞的最佳時節(jié)。

吉林霧凇與桂林山水、云南石林和長江三峽同為中國四大自然奇觀。在吉林，每到冬季，盡管松花湖上一抹如鏡、冰凍如鐵，但冰層下面幾十米深的水里仍能保持4℃的水溫，水溫和地面溫差常在30℃左右，于是就形成了市區(qū)以下幾十里不封凍的江面。溫差使江水產(chǎn)生霧氣，江面上白霧裊裊，久不消散。沿江那十里長堤，蒼松林立，楊柳撫江，就在一定的氣壓、風(fēng)向、溫度等條件的作用下，江面的大量霧氣遇冷后便以霜的形式凝結(jié)在周圍粗細(xì)不同的樹枝上，形成大面積的霧凇奇觀。 由于擁有得天獨(dú)厚的自然條件，所以吉林霧凇又具有持續(xù)時間長、厚度大、出現(xiàn)頻率高的特點(diǎn)。每年從12月下旬到翌年2月底，都是在吉林市觀賞霧凇的最佳時節(jié)，最多時一年可出現(xiàn)60余次。在冰封時節(jié)的吉林，草木都已凋零，萬物也失去了生機(jī)，然而霧凇奇觀卻總能“忽如一夜春風(fēng)來，千樹萬樹梨花開”地降臨北國江城。

Ladies and gentlemen,

Welcome to my hometown, Jilin City. I am Vera, your tour guide from the China National Tourism Administration. You may also call me Miss Zhang. On my left is our driver, Mrs. Li, who has over 20 years of driving experience and will ensure our safety.

We are just a few minutes away from the Ten Miles Dike. Let me give you a brief introduction to Jilin rime. Jilin’s rime is considered a symbol of spring in winter and, along with the Guilin landscape, Yunnan Stone Forest, and the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, it is one of China’s Four Meteorological Wonders. In fact, China has the earliest records of rime, commonly known locally as "mist attached to trees."

Let me explain how Jilin rime forms. About 15 kilometers upstream from Jilin City, along the Songhua River, is the famous Fengman Power Station. In winter, as water passes through the hydraulic group, it warms up, maintaining a temperature of around 4°C despite the cold and the steel-like ice on the lake. Because the river water holds significant heat energy, it doesn't freeze for up to ten miles. Water vapor rises from the surface, creating a misty appearance. With pines, poplars, and weeping willows along the dykes, the water vapor freezes around the trees due to the cold and atmospheric conditions. This unique formation allows Jilin rime to last a long time and occurs frequently in winter. The best time for sightseeing is from late December to February. There can be over 60 rime formations in a single winter. People usually enjoy the process in three stages: watching the mist at night, appreciating the rime in the morning, and observing the rime as it falls. The trees along the river are covered in rime, and the branches of the weeping willows look like silver necklaces. After about 9 o'clock in the morning, the rime begins to fall from the trees, starting with a small amount and increasing over time. When the rime falls on us, it feels especially fresh and cool.

We have now reached Songjang Road. Please put on your hats and gloves and follow me to enjoy the wonders of the rime.
