Dust sweeps through Beijing again on Monday, as North China reeled under a huge sandstorm. The sky across North China turned dark yellow over the weekend as the biggest sandstorm this year offered a grim reminder of the impact of the country s worsening desertification. Tons of sand carried by winds have affected people in Beijing since last Friday.
According to Xicheng Traffic Control Department, the sandstorm hasn t brought much influence to district traffic system. Due to the close observation and careful control of the traffic by traffic police in Xicheng district, the number of traffic accidents didn t see any rise during the sandstorm days.
