Christmas in Beijing

 

A couple of days before Christmas I was doing Christmas shopping in one of the many supermarkets in Beijing.
Suddenly from the speakers came a beautiful woman’s voice sinning “Silent night”. For a moment I felt as I was in the beautiful cathedral, and midnight mass was about to begin.

As the carol ended I felt compelled to find the signs of Christmas in Beijing.
The following photos are the signs of Christmas, which I found in Beijing.
