The low temperature of -34°C adds to the winter beauty of "China's coldest town", and the "hot" Huma River mixed with ice cubes flows slowly past the city, forming a beautiful rime scenery on both sides of the Huma River, which makes tourists and local photographers alike linger.
Huzhong District is located at the northern foot of Yile Huli Mountain in the Great Xing'an Mountains, with a frost-free period of only 83 days per year, the lowest temperature in the history of the town reaching -53.2 °C, and the average annual temperature of about -4.3 °C, known as "the coldest town in China".
