Canned-air souvenir craze gains momentum

Taking clean air home will not be just a dream for tourists who are troubled by China's smog.

The tourism bureau in Guizhou province, known for its pristine air, has launched a "can of air" project after President Xi Jinping mentioned it during the recent legislative sessions in Beijing.

"Xi's idea seemed humorous, but it represents our leadership's respect for nature," said Fu Yingchun, director of the bureau. "It also shows that Xi is looking forward to a better environment in Guizhou and hopes residents in other areas can duplicate our clean air."
