In Heilongjiang, super cold has its benefits

Huzhong district in the Daxinganling region of Heilongjiang province, widely known as China's coldest place, plunged to its lowest temperature of the winter so far on Sunday morning, the local meteorological bureau reported.

"A cold front brought temperatures as low as -40.9 C," said Wu Shuqin, director of the bureau. "Residents should pay attention to keep warm, as low temperatures will continue in the days ahead."
