The first snow of winter in the capital city, searching for the colors of the ancient capital

Jingshan Park Every time the first snow of winter comes, there are always many people in the capital city carrying cameras around to find the colors of the ancient capital. At this time, you can always see some scenic spots crowded with tourists, taking pictures of the spectacular scenes of the red walls and yellow glazed tiles of the ancient capital covered with white snow. This year, I went straight to Qianmen early in the morning for the first snow. I thought about starting from Qianmen Zhengyangmen, taking pictures of Tiananmen, Zhongshan Park, the Forbidden City, and Jingshan Park after the first snow of the ancient capital. However, plans can't keep up with changes: Tiananmen has activities, and tourists can't enter the square temporarily. The Palace Museum is closed on Mondays. So I quickly adjusted my route and checked in at Jingshan Park for the first stop. Going to Jingshan Park is to overlook the Forbidden City covered with white snow in the center of the city, the Drum Tower Street on the endless north-central axis, the Olympic Forest Park, and the nearby royal garden Beihai Park, etc. Who would have thought that on the icy and snowy mountain road, there are tourists taking pictures everywhere, from the Fulan Pavilion on the west to the Zhou Shang Pavilion on the east, tourists walk slowly on the mountain road, everyone is either holding a camera or a mobile phone. In the central part of Jingshan Park, which is also the commanding height of this city, people consciously line up and wait, without noise, without noise, everyone is immersed in their own creation, that persistence, that seriousness, it is amazing. After coming out of Jingshan Park, I went straight to the second stop, the northwest corner tower of the Forbidden City. There are even more photographers gathered here. Take pictures, take videos, and some people even pinch the white snow into various shapes as the foreground for creation. Some people set the camera to self-timer mode, throw and play with the white snow, and the happiness and joy infect the surrounding people. Leaving the corner tower of the Forbidden City, I went straight to the third stop, Zhongshan Park. Although there are not as many people here as the previous two places, the park's landscape is dressed in silver, red walls, glazed tiles, and ancient trees full of snow, solemn, solemn, and quiet, which is even more pleasing to the eye. A first snow in winter makes the city dressed in silver and exudes the charm of the ancient capital. Warm reminder: 1. To take pictures at Tiananmen, you need to make an appointment one day in advance and carry your ID with you. 2. The Palace Museum is closed every Monday. 3. Other places to take pictures of the ancient capital after snow in the capital include: Temple of Heaven Park, Summer Palace, Beihai Park, etc.
