Snow Village, a fairy tale world in winter

  Photo taken on Dec 5 shows amazing night view of Xuexiang Village in China's northernmost province of Heilongjiang. The Xuexiang Village, which literally means snow village, a once State-owned impoverished forestry farm, has been transformed into a booming tourist resort, thanks to its forest resources and vision. An unusual scene that is unique to the village is the "snow mushrooms", which are formed after sticky snow falls onto wood piles. Together with log cabins, pine trees and snowy mountains, the place looks like a fairy tale world.(Photo: China News Service/Yu Kun)
