GUANGZHOU, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) — Schools have been closed, trains and ferries have been suspended and residents have been evacuated in parts of south China's Guangdong Province as Typhoon Tapa approaches. The typhoon is expected to make landfall in the province on the morning of Sept. 8.
The 16th typhoon of the year is expected to make landfall in the coastal area between the cities of Jiangmen and Maoming, bringing heavy rains to the southern Pearl River Delta and western Guangdong until Sept. 9, the local meteorological service said.
The cities of Jiangmen, Maoming and Zhuhai have raised their typhoon alert levels and closed schools and preschools. The railway department announced that all trains on the Shenzhen-Zhanjiang and Guangzhou-Maoming routes will be suspended on September 8 and gradually resumed from September 9.
In addition, due to the suspension of ferry services between Guangdong and Hainan provinces, train services across the Qiongzhou Strait to Hainan Island and back were cancelled or diverted.
A total of 1,785 workers had been evacuated from 26 offshore wind power platforms by 9 a.m. Sunday, the city of Yangjiang said. In addition, 2,026 workers from fish farms and 342 workers from marine aquaculture farms had been evacuated. Twelve coastal tourist areas were closed to visitors.
