Hundreds of giant bun-shaped mounds of snow have appeared in a parking lot in Beijing last week.<br /><br />The clip, which dates from April 5, shows the surreal sight of what local media described as "snow buns" lining the parking lot in perfect symmetry.<br /> <br />The unusual phenomenon occurred after snow started to melt. <br /><br />The snow-bun shape was formed because of the difference in surface temperatures and water permeability in each lot between ground made of brick and ground made of soil.
