After a recent cold air front brought heavy snow to Mount Tai in Tai'an, Shandong province, the trees on the mountain are now covered with glistering rime.

The rime on trees produces a magnificent image on the snow-covered Mount Tai in Tai'an, with a sea of clouds billowing afar. [Photo by Zhang Jie/provided to chinadaily.com.cn]
