Qingdao's first snow has arrived, transforming the city's Shinan district into a picturesque winter scene. Residents woke up to a "completely white" social media feed, with people of all ages eagerly sharing the news.

At the century-old Zhanqiao Pier, red tiles are covered with snow as flakes swirl through the air, dancing alongside seagulls. The scene adds a splash of color to the winter coastline. Snow blankets the old town, weaving red and white into a visible purity and warmth. From a viewing platform, the red tiles, white snow, blue sea, and azure sky blend into a natural ink painting, embodying Eastern aesthetics.
