Typhoon Baihai caused widespread flooding, landslides, and record-breaking rainfall across several Chinese provinces, including Hubei, Zhejiang, and Fujian. In the Three Gorges Reservoir area, authorities declared a “wartime state,” suspending train services and halting construction to manage risks from saturated soil and potential landslides.

Following these events, the threat of extreme weather persisted as three additional typhoons—Saide, Zitan, and Janglavie—were projected to impact the region. These storms brought renewed risks of heavy rain, flash floods, and geological hazards across southern and eastern coasts, including Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang. In response, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued warnings to multiple provinces, urging authorities to monitor high-risk areas and implement emergency evacuation protocols for tourists.
