Snow and freezing weather have swept large parts of northern China causing travel chaos for thousands.
In Beijing's neighbouring city of Tianjin, all flights were cancelled at the Binhai International Airport due to heavy snow, which also sealed off road and rail links.
Airports in Qingdao and Jinan in Shandong province were also affected by snow, with many flights delayed.
In parts of northeastern China the temperature plummeted to -26C and below.
Northwestern Gansu and Shannxi provinces and the northern region of Inner Mongolia also experienced a sharp temperature drop, heavy snow and sleet.
The national weather forecaster said steep temperature falls, snow and sleet would continue to hit parts of central, eastern and southern China for the next two days.
Cold weather and ice storms across central and southern China earlier this year killed at least 129 people.
