Typhoon Nuri made landfall in south China's Guangdong Province Sunday morning, local authorities said.

Nuri, the second typhoon this year, made landfall in the coastal areas of Hailing Island in Yangjiang City at 8:50 a.m. local time.

China on Saturday activated a level-IV emergency response, the lowest in the country's four-tier warning system, for Nuri.

The Ministry of Emergency Management warned that parts of Guangdong and neighboring Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous region are vulnerable to mountain torrents and landslides as the areas had been hit by recent rainstorms.
