To all those folks in the northern capital, I'm spending my second straight National Day break here and have again been rewarded with Beijing's famously blue cloudless skies. The city is really shining. I've decided to move to Beijing every year for the last week of September.

Hope everyone is enjoying their time off and the pleasures of 立秋.

Yeah. It's fantastic out today. The pollution index has been below 20 for the last 48 hours. I don't think Beijing has been this clean in the past year.

@zjv5002,

Pollution free Beijing? Who'duh thunk it? I still find it hard to believe. 你能把证据给我看看吗?

@All,

@Echo,

我想问问你,北京的污染指数一般是多少?

@Xiao Hu,

大概平均在150-200左右吧,我也不是很确定,有的时候不错,比如最近的国庆假期,几乎每天都还不错,但是有时候突然就变得很不好。
