People can't see the sun in Beijing. The air is full of smoke and fog. It blocks the sun. People want to see the sun. There are big TVs in the streets. People watch the sunrise on them. A TV message asks people to help the environment. Tourists like the TV sunrise. They say it looks like science fiction. They are also worried about it.

The air in China's cities is bad in winter. There is more pollution. Workers wear face masks so they don't breathe the bad air. People cannot see tall buildings across the street. The smog is worse now than it was three years ago. People feel bad. They cough a lot. The U.S. embassy told people not to exercise outside.

Back to the smog lesson.
