Beijing’s Toxic Smog and Tonic Air of the Ghost Town

One has to be really there, then one can tell what the real toxic smog is. For a few days, Beijing’s toxic smogs were so severe, we had to excuse ourselves to escape to the “ghost town” in question, where we were still decorating our newly purchased condominium.

As soon as we were in the Spring Legend, there was a strong sensation as if we were indeed in an Alpine village. How strange that the fresh and crispy air could delude people briefly forget the reality that we were still in China.
