On December 12th, Beijing (China) experienced its first snowfall of the winter season. Snow began falling in the early morning in mountainous areas such as Yanqing, Mentougou, Fangshan, and Haidian, and quickly spread into the city center.

Around 11:30 AM, snow began to fall on the Forbidden City (now the National Palace Museum), blanketing its characteristic red walls and golden tiled roofs in white. Prior to this, the Forbidden City's ticketing portal recorded that all tickets for December 12th and 13th had been sold out, with no seats remaining.

According to China Weather , the first snowfall of the season in Beijing this year is about 9 days later than average. The snow is expected to last until the early morning of December 13th and may affect traffic during the evening rush hour. The meteorological agency advises people to prioritize using public transportation and to pay attention to safety while traveling to avoid slippery conditions.

Long lines of tourists stop before the beautiful snow-covered spots in the Forbidden City, amidst the ancient scenery blanketed in white on the first snowfall of the season.

According to the Beijing Meteorological Observatory, this snowfall occurred when moist air from the south met cold air from the north around midday, as previously predicted. The low temperatures are making it difficult for the snow to melt, and a thick blanket of snow is expected, with 2-6 mm of snowfall. The central area is likely to remain snow-covered for the next few days, and residents can continue to enjoy the snow this weekend.
