The freezing cold temperatures seem to have worked their magic on the trees lining the banks of the frozen Hunhe River in Shenyang, northeast China's Liaoning Province. 

The stunning rime on the trees offers living proof of winter's grip. With the blue sky contrasting beautifully with the white rime, even a virtual tour of the riverbank is an enchanting way to clear the mind and soothe the senses in winter.
