BEIJING, Dec. 19-- China's weather observatory on Saturday issued a yellow alert for smog in the country's north that will linger until Wednesday.

Beijing, Tianjin and neighboring provinces of Hebei, Henan, Shanxi and Shandong, as well as northeast China will face moderate smog, with south Beijing, central Hebei, north Henan and west Shandong to experience heavy smog, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) said.

The smog is forecast to start easing or dispersing from Wednesday in north China, the NMC said.
