Meanwhile, the National Meteorological Center has renewed a yellow alert for fog and smog in eastern and northern cities including Shanghai and Tianjin.
The yellow alert is the third highest in a four-level alert system.
The government in Qingdao has also issued a statement, banning open-air barbecues.

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued 4G licenses to three Chinese telecom operators.
China's three major carriers, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom have been granted the licenses.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's approval allows for the launch of faster mobile technology.
The licenses are specifically for the domestically developed TD-LTE standard rather than the more international FD-LTE.
This will mostly benefit China Mobile, whose 4G network is heavily based on TD-LTE.
China Mobile has already gone on-record saying it will officially launch its 4G services on December 18th.
