Visitors stand on the amazing frozen surface of Sihai Lake in Baicheng city, in Northeast China's Jilin province, on Feb 12. Extraordinarily, myriads of ice balls have gathered under the transparent icy surface, forming blobs resembling the sweet dumplings that Chinese people like to eat during the Lantern Festival, which falls on Feb 15 this year.
