Most Beijingers woke up on Monday to find,to their surprise,that a "yellow blanket"has covered up everything in the open air:from window sills,cars and the ground to every single leaf on the trees.

A sandstorm hitting the China-Mongolia border Saturday and Sunday started to affect Beijing at midnight on Sunday.China's far west and north has been hit by sandstorm in decades,I'm really afraid that there'll be a sandstorm during 2008,Olympic in Beijing.
