Average temperatures in the forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains, in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, drop to - 30 C (- 22 F) or even lower during the winter months. But, some armed soldiers not afraid of the cold, took the opportunity of all the ice and snow to do some sculpturing of an army helicopter and other scenes to bring some other beauty to their mountain camp.
