Extreme cold in Northeast China

By Tian Xuefei and Zhou Huiying | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2018-01-24 16:27

In recent days, the cold front continues to affect Heilongjiang province. People experienced extreme cold in the city of Heihe, especially on the frozen Heilongjiang River.

Can you image a pair of trousers standing up independently? It happened in Northeast China’s Heihe city when wet trousers were hung outside when the temperature was -42 C. Furthermore, in extreme cold, cellphones fail to work outside after a half-hour and a bottle of beer can explode because of freezing.

Trousers were hung outside after being washed. Several minutes later, they became completely frozen and could stand up independently. [Photo provided to China Daily]
