Bad weather continues to hamper return journeys

Some regions such as Hunan province saw fog reduce visibility to 50 meters

After dense fog caused travel disruptions in central and southern regions at the weekend, sleet and strong wind will arrive and continue to affect these regions until Thursday, the national weather authority said on Sunday.

Starting on Monday, northern regions, including part of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, will experience heavy snow, while sleet and rain will cover the majority of central and southern regions, the China Meteorological Observatory said.
