The smog here in Beijing is incredible. When flying into the city it almost looked like a pretty orange sunset but we quickly realized we were actually looking at a huge layer of smog. This view is looking out our hotel window; notice how the buildings fade away into a cloud of smog fairly quickly. Beijing is ringed by mountains and you used to be able to see them all but once the city grew so large with no pollution restrictions in place it has turned into this. All the cars look dirty; as if they have just been traveling on gravel or dirt country roads but it is actually the smog fall out that has coated them in a yellow layer of dust. The yellow dust is on everything.
