The evening of January 19 saw Beijing’s first snowfall of 2022. 

An abundance of snow-themed photos and videos of the capital have circulated on the Chinese internet. But there were a few that stood out. 

One of the most noticeable was footage from the Jiankou section of the Great Wall in Beijing’s Huairou district. The section is considered to be a ‘wild’ section of the Wall. 

See the footage below:

   

Beijing is no stranger to a white blanket around this time of year. After all, today (Thursday 20, 2022) is dahan (大寒) or ‘great cold.’ 

In early November, 2021, residents of the capital got something of a surprise when snow arrived earlier than usual. The Beijing Meteorological Service stated that that batch of snow arrived around 23 days earlier than usual.
