Prophecy20 Posted March 16, 2014 at 11:00 PM Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 at 11:00 PM I've just arrived in Xiamen, and there is what appears to be a thick smog in the air. I had thought that Xiamen was a smog free city, but perhaps I was wrong. Is this smog or something else? Ie fog or low clouds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lao Che Posted March 17, 2014 at 12:22 AM Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 at 12:22 AM Unless you are in Sanya, the air pollution is almost always going to be high by western standards. http://aqicn.org/map/china/ And Xiamen: http://aqicn.org/city/xiamen/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhouhaochen Posted March 17, 2014 at 01:01 AM Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 at 01:01 AM yes, if you go to China unfortunately pretty much wherever you go there will be some smog at the moment. According to the government this will get better in the next few years, lets see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebear Posted March 17, 2014 at 01:06 AM Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 at 01:06 AM If it is any consolation - I found it great there late last year, especially compared to Beijing. Depending on where you are coming from, that may not mean much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, in winter, it needs amount of fuel for heating. let's see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneEye Posted March 17, 2014 at 01:15 PM Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 at 01:15 PM It's been worse than usual in Taipei over the last week or so too, so I'm not surprised that Xiamen is smoggy right now. It'll get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
