When the temperature falls, most people would prefer to sit at home and curl up with a cup of something hot.

当温度降低，大多数人们会想要待在家里，缩成一团喝杯热饮暖和身子。

But a new winter festival in Handan, north-east China, has encouraged hoards of people, wearing skimpy swimsuits, to frolic in a lake that's partially frozen over with enormous slabs of ice.

但中国东北部城市邯郸兴起的一项新的艺术节却鼓励人们身穿轻薄泳装在漂浮着巨大冰块的冻湖中嬉闹。

One man, Cui Deyi, a cold-weather challenger known as 'Huangshan Polar Bear', has even taken the opportunity to play chess while sitting in a giant tub of ice.

一名叫崔德益的男子，是一名有着“黄山北极熊”之称的耐寒挑战者，他甚至坐在一装满冰块的大缸中与人下象棋。

The first edition of the Yi Quan Lake Winter Swim Cultural Festival took place on January 16.Over 600 keen winter swimmers travelled from all over China, including Beijing, Heibei, Henan and Shandong, to attend the festival according to the local newspaper in Handan, hdbs.cn.One of the main events at the festival was Cui Deyi's ice tub chess challenge, where he won several games of Chinese chess despite wearing tiny swim shorts and shivering against the ice, which covered his lower extremities.

首届“溢泉湖冬泳文化节”于1月16日开幕。邯郸当地报纸hdbs.cn报道，来自包括北京、河北、河南和山东等在内的全国各地的600多位冬泳爱好者参加了此次文化节。文化节中一项主要的活动就是崔德益的“冰槽象棋”挑战，尽管崔德只穿一条游泳短裤，在齐腰的冰盒中不停得颤抖，但他仍在此项中国象棋挑战赛中多次夺冠。
