Guilin's air quality benefits from the extraordinary karst limestone peak landscape of the Li River valley in northern Guangxi, with consistent South China Sea-influenced winds providing reasonable ventilation through the dramatic karst corridor. Vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and tourism operations contribute local sources, while the karst mountain topography creates highly distinctive local wind patterns and the tourism development's vehicle concentration represents the primary warm-season concern throughout the year.

Background emissions and local weather both shape how conditions change from day to day. Local weather patterns add further day-to-day variation.
Are air quality levels in Guilin based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
