In Dongbei(Northeast China), this is the most common outdoor winter activity—it's called 冰雪贪吃蛇 Ice and Snow Snake.

The kang (炕) is a traditional heated platform, 2 metres or more long, used for general living, working, entertaining and sleeping in the northern part of China, where the winter climate is cold. It is made of bricks or other forms of fired clay and more recently of concrete in some locations.

Sites in Shenyang, Liaoning in Northeast China show humans using heated bed floors as early as 7,200 years ago. Other examples include an unearthed 1st-century building remains in Heilongjiang Province, and another one in a 4th-century palace building in Jilin Province, both also in the Northeast region. Literary evidence from Li Daoyuan's “Commentary on the Water Classic” also gives evidence of heated floors during the Northern Wei Dynasty (386–534 AD).

The kang is used to cook meals and heat the room, producing radiant heat to indirectly warm the interior space as well as the bed mass itself. It has been speculated that one of the oldest forms of Chinese housing, cave dwellings known as yaodong (窰洞), widespread throughout northern China would have been uninhabitable without the kang. https://www.tumblr.com/sinoheritage/775197346221916160/yaodong-%E7%AA%B0-in-native-jin-chinese-or-%E7%AA%B0%E6%B4%9E-in

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 | @seveni_london is a Chinese restaurant mixing 4 different cuisines together; traditional Chinese food, dongbei bbq, table bbq, and old Beijing cooper hot pot. For my visit we mostly went from the bbq menu. Certain tables are fitted with small grills in the middle of the table, and you can have a go at cooking it yourself, but they are much more inclined to help you with it. We went for the beef platter, which includes beef tongue, sliced short rib, Australian Wagyu, Japanese Wagyu, and more. For £55 I think it’s quite good value for the portion. We also chucked a pork steak in there too. We also started with some lamb skewers, and their chicken hearts which are SO GOOD. I had fun here, it’s great to cook your own meat to how you like it, but they will take over when needed. . . . . . #chinesefood #seveni #chinesebbq #dongbeibbq #dongbei #beijing #wagyu #wagyusteak #beef #steak #bbq #porksteak #chickenhearts #chinesecuisine (at Seveni Bar & Restaurant 柒味) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6iMshnnk8o/?igshid=kc7iqjud7vnz
