If you live in Beijing, you probably don’t need reminding that the capital got its first batch of winter 2021-2022 snow over the weekend. Good thing the city’s central heating was on by Saturday November 6.
Along with many other parts of northern China, the capital is no stranger to a white blanket. However, the Beijing Meteorological Service states that this winter’s first snow arrived around 23 days earlier than it has in recent years, as reported by The Beijing News.
Remote Pinggu district in the far east of the Beijing Municipality saw the heaviest snowfall with 30.6 millimeters. For most areas of Beijing, snow arrived on the evening of Saturday November 6 and continued until around 2pm the following day.
Unsurprisingly, netizens took the opportunity to snap some of their best photos, a handful of which are included below. Enjoy!
