'Like the end of the world': Beijing blanketed in red dust
Aprl 16, 2015
Beijing was covered in a thick blanket of dust on Tuesday and Wednesday in one of the worst sandstorms the city has seen in more than a decade.
As the evening set in, residents rushed to get home from work in the dust, as visibility continued to drop and traffic came to a standstill. It followed a yellow alert from China's weather bureau, which warned that visibility would drop below 1,000 meters and air quality would deteriorate.
