Dusted in snow, the Jiankou section of the Great Wall in Beijing has been transformed into a sight of pristine winter scenery. Following recent snowfall in China's capital, the landmark in the city's Huairou District has drawn brave hikers out with its majestic views. Set among rolling clouds, the wall winds along the hills, as it has since the days of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
