With these developments came not only the rise of an international metropolis but also increased environmental harm. In recent years, Beijing's air quality has been noticeably poor. In the winter, hazes are sometimes visible, and while they aren't as severe as the massive smog that would occur years later, dust storms have still happened several times.
Moreover, it's been a long time since such clean blue skies and white clouds were seen, and even the stars at night have become a rare sight.
Here, at night, one must surely be able to see the stars in the sky.
It's as if the place has never been touched by pollution.
No wonder everyone likes to travel here. Besides the ocean, the unpolluted weather and fresh air are also significant attractions.
