Among the four seasons, winter is definitely the most special one for Chinese people. With the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival, a variety of temple fairs and other activities, winter is a joyful season that represents family reunion and friends gathering.

If you are looking for a good winter destination for skiing, winter festivals and snowy sightseeing, Beijing must be at the top of your travel list!
