China’s a big country, nearly as big as the entire US and it’s no secret there’s a huge smog problem. If you live out in country and are reading this blog on your http://get.wildblue.com/ you may have never heard of some of these Chinese cities but they need to remain on a focus list for the smoggiest cities to attack
Xi’an: Gateway to the Terra Cotta warriors, Xi’an has one of the worst smog problems in the entire country. Residents regularly report respiratory illness and the city virtually shuts down in the summer when the heat makes the smog unbearable.
Beijing: It’s no secret the Olympic city has a smog problem, but it was largely cleaned up for the 2008 games. The smog’s creeping back in, though, and the city needs to keep modifying its policies to keep it out.
Guilin: Guilin is a shockingly big city of 5 million and there are too many cars here to keep the smog out. It’s nestled between mountains so air flow is stifled – keep an eye on this port city.
