Changbai Mountain Moguai Drifting! Do you have to get up early to see the rime?

The drifting on Changbai Mountain is slow on the west slope and fast on the north slope. Most people know this, and there are indeed more people on the north slope. Before I went, I was most entangled in whether to get up at 5 o'clock like the online strategy! Facts have proved that it is really unnecessary! If you understand the principle of rime, then you can easily calculate what time you should get up. (The time in the photo is already after 9 o'clock) Rime is formed when the water molecules in the air reach a certain level and cooperate with low temperature. In layman's terms, it depends on the humidity of the air. This is why rime is only formed by the water or river. After that, as long as the temperature reaches about -15°C or colder, a beautiful rime will be formed, and the rime will gradually melt after the sun rises completely. So there is no need to get up at 5:30! There is no need to worry about whether there is rime today, just look at the weather forecast, if the temperature is enough, there must be! As long as you drift before 9 o'clock, you will definitely see it, but the rime will gradually melt from 8 o'clock, and 7-8 o'clock is the best time, because the rime and the sun are the most beautiful at the same time, although the rime is thick at 6 o'clock, but it is always a little less interesting without the foil of the sun, and after 8 o'clock the rime will gradually become thin and not perfect. Therefore, it is recommended to stay within 20 minutes' drive from the drifting place, set off at 6:30, arrive at 7:00, and queue for no more than half an hour. In this way, you can see the beautiful rime when you go into the water at 7:30! By the way, there is one more important point! If the wind is strong that day, it will cause the rime to fall off in advance. It is recommended to go half an hour earlier! Moguai drifting is generally very good, if it just snowed, it would be even better. There are raincoats for sale. Although it will be slightly wet, it will affect the photo. It is recommended that you bring a waterproof mat and put it under your butt. There is no need to buy a raincoat. You can practice rowing skills in advance, otherwise you will always drift in circles, which is not very good for video recording. Let me remind you again! Although it will be cold if you go early, photography enthusiasts will definitely not dislike the ample time. If the sun has not yet come out when you go, you can completely find a corner to run aground at the drifting place, and wait for the right moment of sunshine to continue drifting. There are still many places where the boat can run aground. Before the end of the drift, it is recommended to take the right waterway. There is a coffee shop on the right. You can choose to go ashore a little earlier, drink a cup of warm tea, and take pictures at a high place. It is also a good place to fly drones here. In short, the rime Moguai drifting is still worth the rush!
