The north-south central axis is covered in silver, with snow-red walls and golden tiles, and with snowmen of different shapes, Jingshan has become the hottest punching place in online celebrity after the snow in Beijing.

Until noon, the park was still made of powder and jade, attracting citizens and tourists to punch in the "Xishan Clear Snow".
The early flowering Chimonanthus praecox in the reclining Buddha Temple in Beijing Botanical Garden is equally fascinating. Many tourists said that they heard that the Chimonanthus praecox in the reclining Buddha Temple was blooming in the past two days, and it was snowing again, so they came to feel the "Xun Mei in the Snow". At present, Chimonanthus praecox in the reclining Buddha Temple belongs to the early flowering Chimonanthus praecox variety, and the flowering period can last from November to around the Spring Festival every year. There are also nearly 100 plants, such as Suxin Chimonanthus praecox and Qikou Chimonanthus praecox, which will bloom around the Spring Festival. The planting age of the ancient Chimonanthus praecox in front of the Tianwang Temple can be traced back to the Zhenguan period in the Tang Dynasty.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Park Management Center, the number of visitors to 11 parks and China Garden Museum reached 300,000 yesterday, up 50% from last weekend. Considering that the snowfall is the first snow in the winter of 2019, tourists are enthusiastic about enjoying the snow.

Snow sweeping this winter, in addition to manual cleaning, the park also dispatched large snow sweepers and small machinery, and the landscaping department conducted uninterrupted inspections of the trees in the whole park in groups and batches to prevent freezing damage; Artificial snow removal shall be carried out for ancient trees, evergreen trees and bamboo forests, so as to prevent the trees from being bent and crushed by rain and snow overload.
As the temperature rises, the snow in the park is gradually melting, and the ground is slippery. The Municipal Park Management Center reminds citizens to pay attention to the safety of their feet and the information sent by the official Weibo in time.
Enter the palace to enjoy the snow
Passenger flow in the Forbidden City reached a peak of 80,000.
The first snow, which arrived as scheduled, made the Forbidden City a "online celebrity". The reporter of Beiqing Daily was informed that the passenger flow of the Palace Museum reached a peak of 80,000 on November 30.

Tourists taking pictures are gathered in various squares in the palace, and snowmen are piled up in many places; By the moat outside the Shenwumen Gate of the Forbidden City, it has become the best place for photographers to shoot with the turret as the background.
In order to return to the "snow addiction", the fans of the Forbidden City are preparing for it overnight. Netizen FFFRao proudly introduced his successful ticket purchase strategy: I saw it snowing heavily last night, so I bought a ticket with my friends and got up early and rushed to the Forbidden City without stopping, just to miss the first snow in the Forbidden City! "Autumn is now in Peiping, and it is forbidden to meet with snow and purple", which is all caught up this year.
The photos of the snow scene in the Forbidden City were immediately screened in various circle of friends. Wang Erxiao, a netizen, summed up his message on the micro-Forbidden City: I got up at 5: 30 and went to the Forbidden City to see the snow. After waiting for several years, I finally fulfilled my long-cherished wish and ran around the Forbidden City twice. I was as happy as a child! I feel my leg is broken when I come back. I will go to the Forbidden City next time it snows.
Great wall scenic spot
Snow has little effect, so you can visit normally
On November 30, a citizen broke the news that when he arrived at the Shuiguan Great Wall in Yanqing, Beijing, he found that the scenic spot was not allowed to enter, and the staff said that it would take some time. In this regard, the reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that after the snow, for the safety of tourists, Shuiguan Great Wall took more than an hour to clear the snow, and it was possible to enter the tour normally around 12 o’clock.
The staff of Shuiguan Great Wall said that the opening time was delayed because some sections were steep and the snow had to be cleared for the safety of tourists. At the same time, the reporter of Beiqing Daily learned from the staff of Badaling Great Wall and Juyongguan Great Wall Scenic Area that they can all visit normally at present.
According to WeChat WeChat official account of Beijing Badaling Tourism Corporation, on the evening of November 29th, the first snow in the winter of 2019 arrived as scheduled, and for a time, the WeChat circle of friends was screened by this snow.
However, Badaling Tourism Corporation also said that while enjoying the beautiful snow scene, the snowfall also brought inconvenience to the residents, tourists and vehicles. In order to ensure safety, the Party Committee of Badaling Tourism Corporation made plans in advance, requiring all units to strictly abide by the principle of "snow is the command", and all departments, subsidiaries and scenic spots of the Corporation immediately organized staff to carry out snow sweeping and ice shoveling work.

All the party member, cadres and employees of the company involved in this snow sweeping and shoveling ice totaled more than 300 people, creating a clean and safe holiday tourism environment for tourists.
New business opportunities
"Snow ghostwriting" is charged by the number of words.
After a short rise, it will melt off the assembly line with the snow.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that at the same time that the snow fell at the beginning of this winter, many sellers of online e-commerce platforms launched the service of "writing on the ground of the first snow in Beijing" or "building a snowman" on the evening of November 29. However, as the snow gradually melted, the reporter of Beiqing Daily found that by about 5 pm yesterday, many such services had been offline. "If you can’t sell them, it will affect my reputation." Some sellers said.
On the evening of November 29th, some online mall sellers launched the service of writing and making snowmen on the snow, and many merchants emphasized that it was "the first snow in Beijing".
A merchant said that writing on behalf of people and making snowmen on behalf of them are mainly aimed at southern buyers. Writing on behalf of people is generally charged according to the number of words. "5 yuan is less than 10 words, and 0.5 yuan is more than 10 words per word."
The seller said that the words written in the snow can be transmitted to the buyer through video or photos. "Buyers can choose to write their own greetings or the names of two couples. I can photograph the whole process and send it to the buyer." In response to how to ensure that the photographed snow writing scene is located in Beijing, the seller responded that the mobile phone photos taken will contain location information. If the buyer wants to take pictures of writing in the snow in the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and other famous scenic spots in Beijing, he needs to negotiate with the seller and determine the appropriate price to deal with it.
As for the snowman, the seller said that he set the pricing method according to the height of the snowman: "5 cm tall snowman 10 yuan money, 10 cm tall snowman 25 yuan money, this is mainly because the time cost of snowman is higher than writing."
The seller admitted that by noon on November 30, he had not received an order to write or make a snowman on the snow in Beijing. "Three or four people have consulted, but the real order has not yet been placed."
Another seller told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that before putting the business of writing on behalf of others into the online mall, he felt that it was very simple to write in the snow: "After someone really placed an order to buy the writing service, I found a snowy open space downstairs, and I found that writing was not so simple. Not only did I have to squat or kneel in the snow, but it was not as easy as I thought to write beautiful fonts smoothly with my fingers. It takes more than 10 minutes to write down 10 complete words. "
Besides, by noon yesterday, as the snow melted, there was less ground to write on. At about 1 pm that day, the seller went off the snow writing service urgently. "If anyone wants to make a reservation again, I will break my promise."
