Snow scenery along Beijing Central Axis and Great Wall

Video captured　the snow scenery along Beijing Central Axis　in Beijing, capital of China　on Wednesday.　

First created in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the Beijing Central Axis, or Zhongzhouxian, stretches 7.8 kilometers between the Yongding Gate in the south of the city and the Drum Tower and Bell Tower in the north. Most of the major old-city buildings of Beijing sit along this axis.　

Gates, palaces, temples, squares, and gardens of the old city are all linked up to the axis. As they witnessed the folk activities along the line from old days to new ones, they themselves were a joy to behold at all times.　

Great Wall　at Shixia Pass　was blanketed in snow after Beijing's first snowfall of Year of the Loong on Tuesday evening.
