Severe storms lash Hong Kong and Beijing
Heavy storms that have lashed Hong Kong and southwest China have caused deaths, damage and injuries.
More than 100 people were injured and trees were ripped from the ground as a typhoon hit Hong Kong packing winds in excess of 140kmh, officials said.
In Beijing, most scenic spots survived the strong winds unscathed, but storms continued to lash neighboring Hebei province, killing at least 17 people. Many are still missing.
The highway linking Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao remained blocked on Monday.
Authorities have called for tighter control of boats and small ships on the Yangtze River to ease river traffic congestion at the Three Gorges Dam, which is about to face the largest flood peak of the year this week.
Eleven thousand tourists and 2,700 residents are still stranded in rural areas of China as roads leading to tourist attractions remain blocked and telecommunications are cut off.
