So Yanqing, my favourite county, is in the news. This time for an ice and snow tourism festival that will be held over the winter.
Well, I’ve seen the Longqingxia ice lanterns, and I have to say I was underwhelmed. And I strongly disapprove of the existence of ski fields in Beijing- almost all the snow is artificial, and the ski fields, like the golf courses, waste a vaste amount of Beijing’s already very scarce water. In fact, there’s not a lot in that article that gets me interested. But Yanqing is a great little county well worth visiting.
