Beijing Air Quality – We Lucked Out!

Armed with N-95 face masks, we lucked out because the air quality in Beijing was good until the day we left. 

As we flew out of Beijing, the pollution was so thick you could barely see across the street. 

Our hotel had a high tech gym with a clean-air system to ensure our good health as we exercised each morning.  The air was so pure that it was invigorating to workout. 

But outside, people still wore their masks, even on days that were relatively clear.
