China's weather observatory on Tuesday issued a yellow alert for smog expected to hit the country's north and northeast.

Beijing, Tianjin, parts of the neighboring provinces of Hebei, Henan and Shandong, as well as parts of northeastern Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces will be shrouded in moderate smog from Tuesday to Wednesday, and Liaoning Province will suffer from heavy smog, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) forecast.

The smog will be dispersed by a cold front from next Tuesday, the NMC said.
