The Unfrozen River is a section of the middle section of the Halaha River, 74 kilometers away from the hot spring street in Arxan City. It never freezes in severe winter and has never frozen for many years, which is amazing. The Unfrozen River is about 20 kilometers long from Santanxia to the vicinity of Jinjianggou Forest Farm. The river water does not freeze in winter and flows naturally. In the midwinter season with a temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius, water freezes into ice. All the large and small rivers in the city are frozen, but only this section of the river is steaming and gurgling. In the severe cold of the 39th day of the 9th month, green aquatic plants are still growing in the water of this section of the river. Mist is still rising on the surface of the river, and the afterglow of the setting sun is shining and colorful, just like colorful clouds, which is spectacular. The Unfrozen River is formed because the water in this section of the river exchanges with geothermal heat.
