Beijing, Tianjin and the surrounding areas are currently struggling against another smoggy period, expected to last until Tuesday evening.
The National Meterorological Center has issued a yellow alert for the pollution as PM 2.5 levels began to rise on Saturday. Yellow is the second stage of a four-tier alert system, with blue being the least severe, gradually climbing through to yellow, orange and red.
The smog should begin to clear Tuesday night as a cold front is due to disperse the pollution, hopefully bringing back clear skies for the new year.
