Heavy snowstorms hit a vast area of north China on Sunday, slowing down bullet trains and grounding flights besides disrupting traffic flow in Tianjin and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Six highways passing through Beijing were also closed. Some trains along the Beijing-Guangzhou, Beijing-Shanghai and Beijing-Tianjin high-speed lines are running at a lower speed because of the snow, Beijing Railway Bureau said.
In Beijing, thousands of people and hundreds of vehicles were sent out to clear the snow on roads. About 23,000 workers and 2,300 vehicles can be mobilised to clean the roads, authorities said.
