The name here refers to several documented rime-viewing stretches around Jilin City, including the central riverfront, Ashi and Rime Island, rather than one bounded attraction. Rime depends on the meeting of moisture and cold surfaces, and the exact pattern varies with wind, temperature and river conditions. It is a seasonal landscape, not a guaranteed daily display or a single point with a fixed forecast.
Rime coats trees beside the Songhua River in Jilin City, while open water runs between the snowy banks.
