Your Pictures of Shanghai's Rare Snowfall

Jan 26 2018

It may not have had the severity of the 'bomb cyclone' that recently hit NYU's New York campus, but Shanghai's snowfall on Thursday had everyone at NYU Shanghai reaching for their cameras as the campus and city turned into a winter wonderland for a day. We've rounded up some of our favorite photos you have been sharing:
