First Beijing snowfall leads online vendors to offer unique services

Beijing's first snowfall of the season on Friday sparked a flurry of "white" business opportunities on e-commerce platforms over the weekend.

Starting Friday night, online vendors launched services that included helping people write in the snow and making snowmen, Beijing Youth Daily reported Sunday.

Many of them, however, had been removed by 5 pm on Saturday as vendors were worried the services could not be delivered because the snow had started melting at noon on Saturday.
