BEIJING, China - A major cold snap has swept across China, turning many rivers and small lakes into ice.
Covering 71 hectares of land, Beihai Park is the oldest and among the largest of Chinese parks. Located in Beijing, it has been turned into a stretch of ice due to the extreme cold, attracting a large number of domestic and international tourists for activities such as skating and riding bicycles.
"It is very interesting to skate here with my friend, there are many people and it's too much fun and I suggest to everyone to come and try it," said Zheng Cheu Huan, a student in Beijing.
China is experiencing its coldest winter in the past 70 years. According to the Chinese government's metrology authorities, temperature degrees saw a record low of -10 degrees Celsius for 300 hours in a row, freezing all 30 lakes and 100 rivers of the capital city.
Zheng Lu is a student who has come to Beijing for the first time in her life to see the charming views of the icy lakes and to skate with her friends.
"This is my first time in Beijing, and I came to this snow resort to play, although it is a little cold, the weather today is very good for taking photos, " Lu said.
