President Xi Jinping visited soldiers at a border frontier base in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region on Sunday, expressing his gratitude for their service to the nation.

Soldiers in the region deserve the respect and gratitude of both the State and the people for braving the cold winter weather and protecting the nation, Xi said.

Temperatures were indeed frosty at the army base at Mount Sanjiao in Hinggan League, hovering around -30 C on Sunday morning.

"Today, I will stand guard together with you," Xi told the soldiers.
