These Beijing photos were taken during several short stopovers in China capital, which gave me the chance to visit a few of the standard tourist attractions… On one occasion, though, I was ‘lucky’ enough to be there during one of the biggest snowstorms in Beijing’s history. I managed to take few unusual photos but almost missed my plane as a result – all transport was at a standstill and getting back to the airport was a real challenge.
All the photos below were taken in winter. I have some summer photos in my archive as well and hope to add them here soon.
