In response to Typhoon Bebinca, Shanghai suspended some rail services and canceled hundreds of flights at the city’s two airports.
Resorts in Shanghai, including Disney Resort, Jinjiang Theme Park and Shanghai Wildlife Park, have been temporarily closed and many ferries have also stopped operating.
Shanghai is rarely directly affected by the powerful typhoons that often hit southern China.
Typhoon Bebinca occurred shortly after super typhoon Yagi made landfall in China’s Hainan province on September 6, causing both human and property damage.
Super typhoon Yagi and its circulation have brought heavy rain, flooding, and landslides to many Southeast Asian countries, including Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar.
