Despite the warmer weather, the waterfalls at a popular scenic spot in a national forest park in northern China's Hebei province remain frozen, according to the Web site of China News Service.

Visitors have been coming in droves to Baicaopan to see the heavy layers of the frozen waterfalls at Ye San Po national forest park, approximately two hours from Beijing. Baicaopan is one of the four highest mountains in western Beijing, whose tallest peak is 1,983 meters. Its high altitude brings about constantly changing scenery down the mountain ridges as the seasons change.

Workers at the tourist attraction say there are still giant glaciers about 1,000 meters long and numerous small solidly frozen waterfalls inside the scenic area.

Visitors are swarming to Ye San Po before rising temperatures melt the waterfalls and glaciers. Workers at Ye San Po estimate that the frozen waterfalls will last until the end of May or the beginning of June.
