I was in Shenzen in 2017 and then again in late 2023.

The level of pollution is a huge difference. The sky was blue in late 2023. The air was fresh. There were nice breezes. People were enjoying the outdoors.

On the road, most cars were EVs. So when you walk next to the road, you don't smell gasoline and you don't feel the heat of the engines.

It was very pleasant.

In late 2019 it was still horrible. I'm glad to hear it's cleaned up a lot since then.
