December
Běijīng can feel gloomy once winter descends and it becomes relentlessly cold. But a white Christmas is a real pos-
sibility, and you can strap on the ice skates and take to the Hòuhǎi lakes.

on the commercial calendar, when Běijīng's big shopping zones sparkle with decorations
and younger Chinese get into the Yuletide spirit.
