Riding and pushing (with two iron sticks) along the so-called ice-car in Beijing University's campus lake (Yet-to-be-named Lake).
Skiing in Beijing? Yes, but most of the snow is man-made during the night. The slope was not too bad for us intermediate skiers.
Riding the sedan chair (palanquin) the old-fashioned way. Normally only wealthy folks or officials ride this. The bride gets to ride on this on her wedding day as well.
Amazing sea of people on the first day of the Chinese New Year at the Temple of Earth in Beijing for the "Temple Fair". We went at 9 a.m. and it was not as crowded. The picture was taken around noon. We spent about 3 hours there walking about and the nostalgic feeling of the old days was great.
Standing on the lake of the Summer Palace, only in winter though. With our toys and paper/plastic flying fish on hand we bought from the temple fair in the morning.
Summer Palace in winter time. See the people on the iced-up lake?
