Spring has sprung in Beijing, and with it comes a snowstorm of a different kind! 🌬️✨ The city has officially entered its downy catkin season, turning streets into whimsical scenes straight out of a fairy tale.
But don't be fooled by the fluffy white flurries dancing through the air. These flying catkins, while picturesque, bring along a fair share of challenges. Residents in the central and southern parts of Beijing are reporting discomfort as the tiny seeds tickle noses and eyes. Achoo! 😷
Beyond the sneezes and sniffles, there's another concern on the horizon: fire hazards. The city government sounded the alarm this Sunday, highlighting the increased risk as these feathery seeds blanket the city.
So, if you're wandering around Beijing this spring, remember to pack your mask and stay alert. Enjoy the magical vibes but stay safe! 🌸❤️
