Coastline to provide natural storm defense

Authorities plan to use the existing environment to ensure improved protection from typhoons in the Greater Bay Area. Chen Zimo reports from Hong Kong.

Coastal areas across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area are to be fortified against "once-in-a-century typhoons", which, despite the name, seem to be arriving more frequently.

Super typhoons have become a plague along the coasts of Hong Kong and Guangdong province, prompting governments to preserve and recreate natural seashores.
