Myth Buster: Air in Beijing is so polluted you can't see blue skies

Air quality in Beijing was a concern of mine and J's before we arrived. New Zealand had really spoiled us in this aspect. I'm happy to report that after 8 days in Beijing I did not see blue skies for only 2 of those days, both of which were due to rain. Friends keep telling us that this is abnormal. I hope our lucky streak continues.

Check out the clear skies around the city!
