We woke up this morning to a very eery, almost Martian sight. Beijing’s first dust storm in 5 or 6 years turned the sky orange. Millions of tons of sand  has blown in from the Gobi desert and is currently floating over the city turning everything shades of orange.

I took some pictures from our apartment.

I don’t plan on venturing out until the skies clear as I can already see thick layers of sand on the roads.
