Tip 5: Pollution protection
|
The pollution in Beijing is not only unsightly, but may affect your body in adverse ways. Be sure to bring plenty of lotion and eye drops (especially for those who wear contacts) as the pollution tends to irritate and dry out your skin and eyes. The U.S. embassy regularly posts a pollution report on its website. On days that are categorized as 'hazardous', it may be best to stay inside.
