Back in Jan/Feb of 2006, my first visit, there was perpetual haze hanging over the harbor.
Many here noted that those are the worst months for smog and that the smog originated from China.
This past week, there's been a lot of wind, often around 15 MPH. So smog doesn't seem to be the issue. But there is still a lot of haze. it's been mostly overcast though.
A guide on a tour that I did said it was haze, not smog (I hadn't asked him what it was). Does it improve with stronger sun, or does that usually come with less wind, which could bring smog back into the equation?
China is trying to do better with using more green energy sources, though I understand the conditions in cities like Beijing are still poor and allow 10 times as much of certain particulates as US standards.
