Xiaoruo village in Wenling, a county-level city in Taizhou, East China's Zhejiang province, glowed in the morning light on Jan 9.

The colorful walls stood out against the clear sky, their reflections rippling across the shallow waters. Nearby, fishing boats were berthed, creating a picturesque scene that resembled a vibrant oil painting and captured the liveliness of the fishing village in winter.
