Cities surrounding Beijing reported fewer polluted days last month, but average air quality still lagged behind other regions, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said yesterday.

Of the 74 cities under its watch, seven of the 10 Chinese cities reporting the worst air quality were in Hebei Province, which neighbors Beijing, the ministry said.

The other three cities were Zhengzhou, Jinan and Changzhou.

Though Beijing and its neighboring cities in north China’s Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region saw slightly improved air quality, the proportion of their polluted days still exceeded half the month.

The ministry also listed 10 cities with the best air quality, including Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Zhoushan, most of which are all in southeastern coastal areas.
