All the boats on waters east of Yangjiang had returned to harbor by 5 pm on Sunday. The provincial government required coastal tourist areas to close and transfer tourists to safe areas.
"The continuous rains also increase the risk of mountain floods in the Sichuan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou provinces and the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region," Dong added.
