Skating is an popular activity in winter. No matter where you are in the city, you are probably 15 minutes away from an skating rink.
If you are up for skiing, take a car out to one of the full service ski resorts outside the city.
Nothing is more lush and wonderful than playing in a warm natural hot-sping pool while the outside temperature is below zero.
Winter in Beijing offers a view of still beauty. The parks have fewer people, one can walk in calm serenity.
