This Saturday is the last Saturday of the month, which means another No-car day in Kunming. Currently Kunming is the only city in China with monthly no-car days - during which private cars are not allowed to operate within the city's first ring road from 9 am to 5 pm.

Private cars with license plate numbers ending in an odd number will also be restricted from operating between the first and second ring roads as June is an even-numbered month. Buses and taxis are exempt from the restriction.

The above video is a short piece produced by China's Green Beat in conjunction with China Dialogue. 'Green sisters' Jenny and Ou Yang provide video footage comparing Kunming's traffic on normal days and no-car days. They also interview several Kunming residents who offer their differing opinions on the monthly no-car day policy.
