Frozen Hun River forms striking winter patterns

Aerial photo taken on Dec. 8, 2025 shows the Hun River frozen over during winter in Shenyang City, northeast China's Liaoning Province. As heavy snow ushers the river into its seasonal freeze, the ice surface appears crystal clear from above, with naturally formed cracks crisscrossing the river and creating a distinctive winter landscape shaped by nature.
