In photos: Yanyuan festooned with first snow in Year of the Loong

Feb 21, 2024

Peking University, February 21, 2024: The snow landing in Yanyuan last night marks many firsts -- the first snow of spring 2024, first snow in this new semester, which begins on Feb. 19, and, above all, the first snow in the Year of the Loong!

The auspicious and exquisite view is hard not to stop and appreciate and is impossible to articulate. Words fail to sketch the cottony lumps perching on branches, the luxurious carpet blanketing the Weiming Lake, or the salt-like crystals sifting in the air ... So why not take a visual journey instead to marvel at the jubilant snow on Yanyuan campus?
