Take a deep breath in China (1): Yichun City, Hei Longjiang Province

In many cities in China, a blue sky is considered as a luxury for citizens. When there is a blue and clean sky, people usually take out their cellphones to take a photograph of the beautiful sky, and upload the pictures to various social media to share their happiness and excitement with their friends. Especially in megacities such as Beijing and Shanghai, the blue sky has become a very popular and common topic in Weibo and Wechat. (two very popular social media in China)  

But do you know in some cities in China, a blue sky is like a "daily commodity" for people to consume and enjoy? For example, one of the coldest and northest cities - Yichun, has nearly the purest air in China. It is called the "Lindu" (literally means "forest capital") due to its greening rate of 83 percent. It is an extremely amazing place in China: with its blue sky, thick forest and cool weather, you probably will have a feeling of being in a heaven or in a storybook due to the unbelievable beauty of a city. When you are in Yichun, you don't have to worry about PM 2.5 at all. You can feel free to breathe the very pure air released by the generous forests there and enjoy the charming natural sightseeing in China. :)

Here are some pictures taken by my friend in a natural park of Yinchun:
