Capital Paradise, Shunyi, Beijing, China
Winter in Beijing is cold (not nearly as cold as Minnesota), but it does not usually snow. Beijing is close to a desert so it is very, very dry. It was weird for us to experience a cold winter devoid of snow and the girls really missed it. We were thrilled to wake up one morning to see snow on the ground. It didn’t last long but we enjoyed it while it was here.
Snow Hills in Chaoyang Park
Chaoyang Park is a huge park in Beijing with trails, an amusement park, a lake and lots more. For a few weekends in February, the park created a hill for sledding and tubing covered in man made snow. We spent a great Saturday afternoon enjoying some snow and sun with friends. *side note, we had NO idea why there was also camel rides among the snow activities!
