China Prepares for Major Typhoon Amid National Holiday Travel Surge
China is bracing for a significant typhoon as millions of citizens travel for one of the country's largest holidays — Golden Week. Meteorologists have warned that the typhoon, named "Laiqia," could bring heavy rains and strong winds, creating major risks for residents in coastal areas, where the worst impacts are expected.
Local authorities have already begun preparations for potential consequences, including evacuating residents from high-risk zones. The typhoon is forecasted to impact the southern part of the country, affecting provinces like Guangdong and Hainan, which are expecting a substantial influx of tourists and business travelers.
The sea is also preparing for deteriorating weather conditions — local authorities are strengthening safety measures along the coast, closing beaches, and alerting fishermen about the threats of rough seas. Despite this, many tourists are still eager to reach resorts and participate in celebrations, adding extra stress to local rescue and emergency services.
Experts note that such powerful storms have been occurring more frequently in recent years due to global climate changes. Typhoons inflict substantial damage on both the economy and ecosystems of regions, leading to infrastructure destruction and hardships for the people.
Despite all dangers and warnings, the Chinese people are determined to celebrate their traditional customs and spend time with their families, highlighting the resilience and commitment of society to support each other in challenging times.
