Colorful Yunnan University turns stark white

Yunnan University ushered in the first glorious snows of the New Year on Feb 22 - with the campus bathed in a layer of intense white.

In particular, the library, teaching buildings and bell tower at the university - located in Kunming, capital of Southwest China's Yunnan province, where snow rarely falls - were a spectacular sight.
