In preparation for Typhoon Khanun, Shangzhi City in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province has decided to suspend work, production, public transportation, businesses and schools from Thursday to Saturday, according to local authorities.
Essential public services will continue to function in the city, but all everything else will be suspended, according to the city's flood control and drought relief headquarters.
The city already experienced torrential rains triggered by Typhoon Doksuri earlier this month. Meteorological forecasts have indicated that Khanun, the sixth typhoon of this year, is expected to traverse the city on Thursday, causing heavy rainfall and strong winds.
