In spring, as the temperature rises in Hotan Prefecture, northwest China’s Xinjiang, the glaciers in the lower reaches of Karakash River, originating from the northern slope of the Karakoram Mountains, are thawing and rippling.

In the river valley near Langru Township, Hotan County, snow and vegetation dot the riverside. The flow of water and vegetation enhance each other’s beauty, showing a vibrant scene in spring.
