Beijing boating lake freezes solid in temperatures as low as -9C 
 

 

Dozens of tourists took sledges and carts onto Kunming Lake, part of the Summer Palace in Beijing in China, after the lake froze over

Tourists wheeled covered carts and other contraptions onto the lake as the freezing temperatures take hold in the country

The lake froze as temperatures plunged to -9C this week and reached around -7C yesterday as people prepare for the cold snap this month
 

China traditionally marks the long winter period of cold weather with the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival held at sites throughout Beijing 

The Summer Palace, made up of three quarters of water, is dominated by Kunming Lake and the impressive views of Longevity Hill
