The only way to see sunrise in Beijing this morning was to watch it on a screen.
The article goes on to note:
The screen, which normally displays advertisements, wasn’t explicitly set up to act as a surrogate sunrise. It does, however, recall the fake skyline set up in Hong Kong to replace the haze-shrouded real one.
