Recently, everyone should know that the heavy snowfall in Beijing has attracted a lot of attention from netizens. It has to be said that this snowfall was truly heavy. For a time, Beijing seemed to be covered with a white cloth. So the key question comes up: Where in Beijing can you take beautiful snow photos? Let’s take a look together!
The Forbidden City is the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China. It was formerly known as the Purple Forbidden City and is located at the heart of the central axis of Beijing. The Forbidden City is centered on the three major halls, covering an area of about 720,000 square meters, with a construction area of about 150,000 square meters. There are more than 70 palaces of various sizes, with more than 9,000 rooms. Early winter snow, golden autumn ginkgo, summer green leaves, early spring magnolia. When they all meet the red palace walls, they find that red and white, red and yellow, red and green are all the most perfect color combinations.
Beihai Park
Beihai Park is located in the central area of Beijing, adjacent to Jingshan Hill to the east, facing Zhongnanhai to the south, and connected to Shichahai to the north. It is a Chinese ancient imperial garden. The park is centered on Beihai Lake, mainly consisting of Qionghua Island, the East Bank and the North Bank scenic areas. Qionghua Island has lush trees, quiet pavilions and towers, and a white pagoda standing on the top of the hill, becoming the landmark of the park. In the snowy season, whether it is the palace buildings or the pavilions and waterside pavilions are covered with white snow, not heavy but showing the imperial posture. A cool breeze blows across the shimmering water surface, you can see the white pagoda above the layers of white snow. Strolling around Beihai, you can vaguely see the former royal prosperous times in the snow scene.
The Summer Palace after snowfall seems to blend with the entire city of Beijing, which is very spectacular. You can see the snow pressing down on the pavilions and towers, you can see the snow falling on the lake surface without a trace, you can see the willows by the lake swaying gently, and the ice and snow are moving and beautiful! In addition, on the Kunming Lake in winter, the blue and soft light reflected by the sun is extremely gentle; even if you go to the Buddha Fragrance Pavilion, you will find that the Buddha Fragrance Pavilion in the snow is like the old Buddha of Beijing sitting at the foot of Longevity Mountain, the Summer Palace in winter almost better shows the royal taste and aristocratic temperament!
Temple of Heaven
The Temple of Heaven Park after the snow is even more magnificent. The famous Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is covered in silver white, which is the most magnificent building in the Temple of Heaven, and also the place that is closest to heaven in imagination. The red walls of the ancient buildings and the falling white snow complement each other, creating the park’s unique scenery, making everything here more charming.
Jingshan Hill is the highest point in Beijing. The most common trees on the hill are pine trees and cypress trees. Whenever it snows, these evergreen trees are covered with thick, fluffy white snow, like a thick blanket, pure white and elegant, pleasing to the eye, known as “Jingshan Pine Snow”. A special recommendation for places to enjoy snow in Jingshan Park is Wanchun Pavilion. After the snow, you climb to Wanchun Pavilion, look far into the distance, and the snow scene of the whole city of Beijing is in full view.
