I never thought spring would arrive this year, but here it is! After a miserably long winter, the chill is gone, the flowers are blooming — and the itching and sneezing has commenced. It’s hayfever time.
I’ve prepared a slide show on the basics of hayfever for Beijingers; you can watch it full screen below without downloading.
