Jinan's first snowfall of the winter drapes the Daming Lake Scenic Area in white.

Ancient pavilions are dusted with snow, while their reflections shimmer on the misty lake. Snow-covered banks line the water, and boats glide across, leaving gentle ripples in their wake.

The scene draws visitors and photographers, who stroll along the shores capturing the snowy scenery, while children build snowmen and have snowball fights.
