BEIJING was hit by dust and sand again today, two days after it was plagued by the first severe sandstorm this spring on Saturday.
"The sandstorm from Mongolia arrived in Beijing this morning, and is expected to weaken by this evening," said Zhang Mingying, senior engineer with the Beijing Meteorological Station.
He said the sandstorm borne by strong winds had swept over north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and Shanxi and Hebei provinces.
"Dust and sand left from Saturday's sandstorm was still affecting Beijing today," Zhang said.
"Although the sky was not as orange as Saturday, the smell of the dust was stronger on Monday," said Li Nan, a Beijing resident.
