Today the smog is very bad which is surprising because last Friday we could see the mountains from our window. It is the first time I noticed them even though they are only a thirty minute bike ride from here. There are no foothills, they just rise right out of the flat-lands. It was the first day that was clear enough to see them.
The heat in Beijing’s buildings has been turned off for the summer so all those coal heating plants are now shut down. Hopefully this will help to improve the air quality.
The photos below tell the whole story about the air quality.
