At Altay, I saw the Time-Space Gate of Hemu

Winter in Altay Hemu is not just about snowy fields and cooking smoke; it also hides a "Time-Space Gate": ice crystals suspended in the extreme cold air are ignited by sunlight, refracting into transparent light pillars dozens of meters high, as if an entrance to another dimension. This phenomenon lasts only a few minutes but is enough to capture the ski slopes, pine forests, and villages all into a dreamlike scene. Arrive early in the morning, shoot with a wide-angle backlight, and you can forever preserve this limited magic—come to Hemu to witness a true winter wonder.
