As of Sunday, more than 1,000 people had been evacuated in Taizhou City, east China's Zhejiang Province as Typhoon Hinnamnor approaches the country's eastern coastal areas and heads for landfall as a super typhoon.

Typhoon Hinnamnor brought strong gales to the Dachen island in Taizhou, with wind speeds reaching about 28.4 meters per second. 

The high wind also generated stormy waves that kept thrashing on the shore.
