When you look at that graph, and, indeed, today's, you'll notice that the peak moments coincide with low wind speeds. Winds are very strong in spring afternoons and I believe they blow a lot of the pollution away. When the wind dies down at night, the air fills up with pollution again. From diesel trucks, certainly, but construction, too. And agricultural stalk burning.
What puzzles me is that the humidity, which reaches 100% at night, doesn't precipitate the pollution. I thought it should?
Anyway, high AQI rates are common for Kunming in spring. But that doesn't mean it isn't utterly disgusting. We should all be aware that we're slowly being killed here.

发布者excellent pictures!
Urban management officers replaced by plants
发布者Yes, illegal street vendors on the street are hurting business because they are allowed to be there by corrupt chengguan. Business has trouble to keep up because of high rent.
Why is rent at wenhuaxiang so high though? Because it's all owned by a happy few who probably have earned their money in equally questionable ways.
So businesses are fucked two-ways by corruption. They really ought to move elsewhere and allow the sores to fester.

Welcome to the new GoKunming!
发布者Great new look; I think we should attribute this work to Yereth more than to Patrick. Only one question: is site-wide search planned?
