I never expected Jilin to have two faces

The summer of 2023 I came to Songhua Lake in Jilin City This niche and low-key place is clearer than the Three Gorges, more lush than the West Lake, and more three-dimensional than the Thousand Island Lake Reluctantly saying goodbye, I shouted to Songhua Lake: See you in winter So After the first heavy snowfall of 2024 I fulfilled the promise I made with Songhua Lake · The Maitreya Temple is nestled between valleys The lake surface, where I took a boat trip in summer, has turned into thick blue ice It's incredible to walk on the ice Standing under the lighthouse, it's like standing at the center of the world If not seen with my own eyes Who would dare believe that the green hills and blue waters of summer Are the same as the ink-painted ice and snow beneath my feet
