China: Freezing Temperatures Cause Car Window Frost In Yantai, Shandong

On December 11, 2023, in Yantai, a city located in eastern China's Shandong Province, a chilly winter morning revealed a car parked outdoors with its windows covered in a thick layer of frost. The frost resembled a delicate white curtain, completely obscuring the glass. The driver, feeling playful, lowered the window and began tapping at the ice. Suddenly, the sheet of ice broke free and fell directly into the car, creating an unexpected winter mess inside the vehicle.

China: Waterspout Spotted Over Qinghai Lake

On October 9, 2024, a spectacular natural phenomenon was captured over Qinghai Lake in Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, located in northwestern China’s Qinghai Province. In the video, a thick layer of clouds hovered in the sky while a massive column of water shot straight from the lake's surface toward the clouds. This rare event, known as a waterspout, resembled a giant dragon playing in the water, as if linking the lake to the sky. Waterspouts are a type of tornado that forms over water, featuring a rapidly rotating funnel of wind driven by intense low pressure. The breathtaking scene left Chinese onlookers in awe of nature’s power and beauty.
