Arxan：A fairy tale world

Inner Mongolia's Arxan City in north China has become a world of ice and snow. To celebrate the New Year, Arxan held folk activities where residents and tourists had a great time dancing around the bonfire and setting off fireworks.

Arxan unfrozen river is like a magical ribbon. When the cold wind blows, the surrounding area is covered with ice and snow, but it still flows. Taking a raft, tourists embark on a unique drifting journey.

Its secret lies deep beneath the river bed, where the river passes over an area of geothermal activity near Arxan. The heat from below raises the temperature that allows the river water to stay above freezing point. (Photo provided to GMW.cn)
