This is yet another photo of the Shanghai skyline. It seems however that the word sky doesnt really fit with this picture. Perhaps smogline is a more suitable word to describe it

This photo was taken through the hotel window so there is some reflections in the image. But I can assure you that the photo does look like I remember the air being that day. Quite scary to say the least. Definitely need a few beers to clear the body from smog in the evenings. Atleast that's my recipe of dealing with it hehe.

Mannnn that looks brutal. Now I know why you and @damira need to escape to Sweden!

it is definitely time to go back now. Breathing this air is probably the equivalent of smoking two packs of cigarettes aday..

Dang, I’m not sure what I’m getting myself into. That looks terrible

Shanghai is usually better than other places as it's by the ocean it clears quickly. Where I live in Hangzhou It's much worse because it's inland . You should definitely buy a good air filter for your apartment though ! Strong recommendation

Will definitely do that. I’ve heard the winter is worse than the summer, but still not good.

Cheers

My pleasure!

nice shot. very spooky

Thanks! How is the air treating you up in Dalian?

The air in Dalian has been much better lately. They finished building a nuclear power plant a little over a year ago it really made a huge difference when they closed the coal plants. We d still get some brutal smog days from the factories in the surrounding cities, rumor is most of the smog in Dalian comes from as far north as Beijing.

That's the thing, when it's comes to air, even if you clean up your own city, you still need your neighbors to do the same

Let's see each other :)

You want to go and visit Shanghai ??

*cough *wheeze there must be a better way!! Glad you have a method yo counteract the smog. Lols. I am wondering if the 'sky' looks like this most days, or if it is often clear? Like how often is there this much pollution in the Shanghai sky?y

I don't live in Shanghai, but in a city surly close called Hangzhou. Smog of this degree is probably present around 50 percent of the time . It's sad

the photo looks beautiful, if only it were not smog !.... Delhi too comes under the attack of unbearable smog ! These are times to look at beautiful landscapes from the confines of air-conditioned glass cubicles !!

Ye there is not much choice but to stay inside when the air is like this . I also heard Delhi is in a bad shape

yeah... Smog and pollution in Delhi is really bad. Enough to kill !!

Scary!

Yea it's definitely far away from the kind of air we can enjoy in Europe.. I hope they can improve it fast

Wow that really highlights how bad the smog is that is so scary

Yea I definitely looking forward to some Swedish crisp air :)

I think you will appreciate it so much now 😎

This makes me feel really sad. I want everywhere to have good air quality.
