My Trip

A course only Beijing winter offers. When the frozen Shichahai and Beihai lakes turn into ice rinks, the ice sleds and skating are the draw. See the snow scenes of the Forbidden City and the Beihai White Pagoda on a snowy day, and melt the biting cold with Ghost Street hotpot. A January-February-only scene.
