Yunnan, lungs of China

The first basic question that you ask yourself in Kunming (capital of Yunnan province) is: 'how the hell can those
people breathe here?' Air pollution is absolutely crazy... Fortunately, Jinghong which was our next stop turned
out to be much cleaner.

According to the China's own evaluation, two-thirds of the 338 cities for which air-quality data are available are
considered polluted - two-thirds of them moderately or severely so. Acid rain falls on 30% of the country.
