The wonder of a rainbow in Beijing

There were hours of rainfall, the city was getting soaked. And then something many Beijing residents did not expect on Monday evening.

A rainbow.

Readers almost anywhere else in the world might scratch their heads at what is probably quite a commonplace phenomenon. But in smog-ridden Beijing, rainbows are rare.

Just how rare became evident in the hours that followed and into the early hours of Tuesday morning as Chinese netizens uploaded images in their thousands and shared their joy at the sight of the rainbow on social media.
