Shichahai in Bejing is bustling with activity during the coldest days of winter

January 8th marks the first day of the "Third Cold Month" in the lunar calendar. Although Shichahai in Beijing is quite chilly, it is bustling with activity! Winter swimming enthusiasts wearing distinctive swimming caps dive into the water, swimming or resting, attracting a crowd of tourists to watch. Tourists line up to take photos and pose, children secretly making "Yey" sounds add to the fun, and there are also cute cats wearing glasses and necklaces.
