Hi Jojo,
I am sorry to inform you that you can not hole a panda and take a picture with it in Beijing zoo; actually you can only see pandas at a distance, please understand. If you wish to do that anyway, you can go to Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding or Bifengxia Giant Panda Base (both in Sichuan province) to join the Giant Panda Volunteer Programs. (relevant page: http://www.chinahighlights.com/giant-panda/programs.htm)
After the program, you can donate CNY 1000 to the pandas, then hold a baby panda and take photo with it.
Hope it helps, wish you a nice day! ;)

Hi Suzanna,
Regarding to your request, I am sorry to inform you that our local agency in Beijing just told me that there is no ski resort near or in Beijing opened at this moment, they normally will open after late November (sometimes mid December); and Beijing does not snow in these days, the temperature in Beijing today is -3 to 5 centigrade, sunny, and it will be the same in the following two days. If you would like to play with snow in Beijing, you can go to Qiaobo Ice and Snow World and have a try there; it is a man-made indoor snow world. Here is the official website of it (but I did not find an English version): http://www.qbski.com/index.htm
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or you need any tour services from us.
Wish you a nice day ;)
