# Canadian Lifechanyuan Second Home in a Snowy World
Today is the last day of 2017. The landscape is a winter wonderland with outdoor temperatures at minus 27 degrees Celsius. The sky is clear and the air is exceptionally fresh. Lac La Hache is covered in a blanket of white. We walked from one side of the lake to the other and back, a journey that took over an hour. Although I grew up in northwest China, walking through such thick ice and snow is a first for me and a moment worth documenting.
Please enjoy the sights and scenes of the Oasis in the icy landscape, as well as the people and their vibrant presence.
December 31, 2017 — At this moment, mainland China has already entered 2018.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://en.chanyuan8.org/lifechanyuan-headquarters/canadian-lifechanyuan-second-home-in-a-snowy-world.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
