As of 8pm that evening, the Air Quality Index(AQI) had soared above 600, or "beyond index." AQI levels of 400 are considered "hazardous." Beijing&`&s pollution level was taken up a notch to "orange," from the original "yellow" classification. This is the second-highest air pollutionwarning level, with "red" coming next. The orange pollution level requires factories to decrease their production, heavy duty trucks to be banned from the roads, and building sites are not allowed to transport materials.

Following the smogpocalypse, netizens turned to the microblogging platform to draw outlines of the city&`&s most famous attractions.
