Mountain climbers see the light

Lost mountain climbers will benefit from as many as 131 solar-powered locator beacons in 15 important scenic areas in Beijing.
The 8-m-tall solar-powered beacons emit a light at night to help lost travelers. Each beacon carries a unique number so police can easily determine the climber's position.
In addition, they are all equipped with cell phone chargers.
