  The level of the lake is like a mirror, and the ice waterfall hangs in front of the river.

In the cold wind, the swimmers cut through the waves and fought bravely to be the first, disturbing the tranquility of the pool.

On the shore, photographers and tourists from the Mudanjiang area cheered for the athletes from time to time.

After the competition, the athletes said that although the outdoor temperature was minus ten degrees Celsius, the water temperature in Heilongtan was between 11°C and 12°C, which is very suitable for winter swimming. Winter swimming enthusiasts from all over the country and the world are welcome to experience it.
