Beijing

A strong cold front is expected to linger across central and eastern China for the next three days, causing dramatic temperature drops and precipitation, according to the nation's meteorological authority on Nov. 21.

Temperatures in parts of Hubei, Hunan, Henan and Anhui provinces will plunge by up to 16 degrees Celsius, according to a statement on the official website of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA).

The CMA has also activated a level-three emergency response, requiring meteorological sectors affiliated with CMA to prepare for emergencies caused by the chill. Potential affected areas include Beijing and Tianjin.

Despite inconvenience caused by the cold, many residents in Beijing are thrilled by the first snow of the year, which hit the capital on Nov. 21. Landmarks such as the Forbidden City and Great Wall are covered in a snowy coat, attracting visitors to enjoy their winter glory. (People's Daily Online)

You got the point, weather got bit extreme down here, too hot in mid day, two and half hour later heavy rain pass by. But like old Taoist ever say: Something that way too much, is not good.

(Chinadaily.com.cn) November 25, 2016



Meili Snow Mountain, also known as Prince Snow Mountain, is located 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) northeast of Deqin County in Yunnan province. It sits on the border of Yunnan province and Tibet, where the three famous rivers, namely the Jinsha, Mekong (Nu) and Salwen (Lancang) flow. Known for the grandest view in Yunnan Province, Meili Snow Mountain boasts numerous snow-clad ridges and peaks, thirteen of which exceed 6,000 meters (19.685 feet) above the sea level. The most splendid view is of the Kawagebo Peak, the highest in Yunnan Province rising about 6,740 meters (22,112.86 feet). It is still a virgin peak for no one has ever reached the top. Meili Snow Mountain is one of the most sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism. Kang Karpo Peak means the God of Snow Mountain in Tibetan, and is a holy land for worshiping. [Photo/IC]

that's cruel.
In my days I used to look for any kind of excuse to miss school, especially weather.
If I had school as shown, my friends and me would've spent entire day making snowmen.

@TaiShang beautiful pictures!
