Tips

culture

Air-drying clothes is still the default in most Chinese homes; nearly every balcony has either a wall-mounted 晒衣架 or a ceiling-mounted 升降晒衣架 (shēngjiàng shàiyījià, lift-and-lower drying rack). The synonym 晾衣架 (liàngyījià, with 晾 'to air-dry') is equally common — 晒 emphasizes sun, 晾 emphasizes airing.
