After a whole day of raining, the sky finally cleared up. Being in Beijing for more than 4 years now, I can swear this is one of the clearest days in Beijing. The sky is deep blue with clouds hang in the distance. I was later told that the visibility is 35 kilo meters (instead of the usual 500 meter).

I went to the 798 art district. Because of the Olympics, the 798 had a face lift. The streets are decorated with flowers. The motorized vehicles are not allowed in the district. There are lots of visitors and many photos enthusiastic.

The pictures are taken with the color set to: vivid in the Nikon D300. I love the colors.
