‘Upper-air beautician’ cleans Shenyang skyscrapers

A sanitation worker cleans glass windows of a skyscraper in Shenyang, Northeast China’s Liaoning province on June 13. To keep safety and stability, sanitation workers have to wear safety ropes and hang outside the facade of buildings. For the work they do, they are usually called “upper-air beauticians".
