Snow blankets the winding Great Wall shrouded in mist.

Jinshanling is about 140 kilometers northeast of Beijing and has one of the best-preserved sections of the Great Wall from the Ming Dynasty.

With its magnificent natural scenery, the Jinshanling Great Wall is also known as the “paradise of photographers”.
