旅游英语景点介绍—吉林雾凇 Jilin Rime

　　【简介】吉林雾凇与桂林山水、云南石林和长江三峡同为中国四大自然奇观。在吉林，每到冬季，尽管松花湖上一抹如镜、冰冻如铁，但冰层下面几十米深的水里仍能保持4℃的水温，水温和地面温差常在30℃左右，于是就形成了市区以下几十里不封冻的江面。温差使江水产生雾气，江面上白雾袅袅，久不消散。沿江那十里长堤，苍松林立，杨柳抚江，就在一定的气压、风向、温度等条件的作用下，江面的大量雾气遇冷后便以霜的形式凝结在周围粗细不同的树枝上，形成大面积的雾凇奇观。 由于拥有得天独厚的自然条件，所以吉林雾凇又具有持续时间长、厚度大、出现频率高的特点。每年从12月下旬到翌年2月底，都是在吉林市观赏雾凇的最佳时节，最多时一年可出现60余次。在冰封时节的吉林，草木都已凋零，万物也失去了生机，然而雾凇奇观却总能“忽如一夜春风来，千树万树梨花开”地降临北国江城。
