[Explanation] In 2023, the 29th National Taiwan Federation Youth Winter Camp for Taiwan Compatriots will be held in Jilin Branch from February 7th to 12th.
During their stay in Changchun, the campers enjoyed ice and snow, deeply felt the mainland's ice and snow culture, and opened their eyes.
A total of 18 youths from Taiwan compatriots participated in the winter camp.
At the first stop of the event, everyone came to Changchun Jingyue Lake, which is a sister lake with Sun Moon Lake, to experience the fun of skiing.
The moment they saw the vast snow-covered mountains and lakes, the campers couldn't help cheering and marveling at the beauty of the snow scene.

This is my first time to Jilin. I think the scenery here is very beautiful and the people are very warm. At the same time, this is also my first time to ski.
[Explanation] Most of the campers are experiencing skiing for the first time. They either try out the snow carefully, or ask the coach to guide the action.
Everyone was not afraid of falling, kept challenging, and gradually became more agile. In just one afternoon, there were many handsome figures on the snow field.

I have never seen so much snow, and such a large amount of ice.
I saw something like a mermaid, her demeanor, her posture, are very detailed and graceful.
I just thought, how long would it take to chisel such a hammer head and a nail, not to mention what kind of skills and time it takes to carve these tall buildings.
