Beijing’s winter countryside

We drove to Tianjin – China’s third largest city after Shanghai and capital Beijing, about an hour and a half drive from central Beijing. The winter view of the countryside – foggy landscapes, frozen waterways, and leafless deciduous trees along the expressway – was truly awesome. Here are samplers…
